Question: Figure below shows a water drained from a open large reservoir using two horizontal plastic pipes connected in series. The first pipe is 2 0

Figure below shows a water drained from a open large reservoir using two horizontal plastic pipes connected in series. The first pipe is 20m long and has a 10cm diameter, while the second pipe is 35m long and has a 4cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 18m above the centerline of the pipe. The pipe entrance is sharp-edged, and the contraction between the two pipes is sudden. Determine the discharge rate of water from the reservoir. (Given: The loss coefficient of sharp edged entrance is KL=0.5 and it is 0.46 for the sudden contraction, the friction factor is 0.002 for both pipes.)(Answer: 0.0131m3s)
