Question: A pipeline conveys 8 . 3 3 litre per second of water from an overhead tank to a building. The pipe is 2 k m

A pipeline conveys 8.33 litre per second of water from an overhead tank to a building. The pipe is 2km long and 0.15m in diameter. It is desired to increase the discharge by 30% by installing another pipeline in parallel with this over half the length. Suggest a suitable diameter of the pipe to be installed. Is there any upper limit on discharge augmentation by this arrangement? (Take friction factor f=0.03.)
