Question: a ) A 1 0 0 0 f t , 6 in diameter pipe carries a flow of 0 . 6 c f s .

a) A 1000ft,6in diameter pipe carries a flow of 0.6cfs. The total energy head at the
inlet is 80ft(from datum) and the pipe elevation and pressure at the outlet is 12ft
(from same datum) and 18, respectively. What is the energy loss through the pipe?
b) A fire hydrant is supplied by a 6 in cast-iron pipe, which is 10,000ft long. The total
change in head along the pipe is limited to 35 psi. Using Darcy-Weisbach equation,
what is the flowrate of water at 60F?
