Chapter 6, Problem 55P
Water flows from one reservoir in a 200-mm pipe, while water flows from a second reservoir in a 150-mm pipe. The two pipes meet in a “tee” junction with a 300-mm pipe that discharges to the atmosphere at an elevation of 20 m. If the water surface in the reservoirs is at 30 m elevation. what is the total flow rate?

The reservoir tank shown contains fresh water air pressurized to 200 kPa. There is a loss of 3.3
N*m/N due to friction in the pipes. Point 1 is located at the surface of the water and point 2 is in the
free stream of the exit spray. The Distance from the water surface to the free stream is 3 meters.
The flowrate for the system is .05 m^3/s (Work on paper required)

its crest 1.6 m above the water level as shown in figure. The siphon discharges into the
atmosphere at a level 3.0 m below the water level. Calculate the velocity of flow and the
discharge. The absolute pressure at the end of the siphon is equivalent to 10 m head of
water. Calculate the absolute pressure at the crest. Neglect all losses.

The pressure in the 150-mm pipe at a point just before entering the reducing section is 140 kPa and in the 50 mm section at the end of the reducer, the pressure is 70 kPa.
