Two water reservoirs of height h 1 = 60 m and h 2 = 30 m are

Question:

Two water reservoirs of height h₁= 60 m and h₂= 30 m are connected by a pipe that is 0.35 m in diameter. The exit of the pipe is submerged at distance h₃= 8 m from the reservoir surface.
a. Determine the flow rate through the pipe if the pipe is 80 m long and the friction factor f_f= 0.004. The pipe inlet is set flush with the wall.
b. If the relative roughness e/D = 0.004, determine the friction factor and flow rate.
