Point Loss description
2 Sharp-edged exit from reservoir
2->3 L =150 m; pipe type a; D =20 cm
3 Bend radius twice the respective pipe diameter
3->4 L =250 m; pipe type a; D =20 cm
4 Sudden pipe contraction
4->5 L =200 m; pipe type b; D =10 cm
5 Bend radius twice the respective pipe diameter
5->6 L =75 m; pipe type b; D =10 cm
6 Sudden pipe expansion
6->7 L =100 m; pipe type c; D =30 cm
7 Sudden pipe contraction
7->8 L =200 m; pipe type b; D =10 cm
8 Sharp-edged entrance to reservoir
In this system, the design discharge is 0.05m3/s, and the water temperature is 20\deg C.
(a) Calculate the water surface elevation at point 9.
(b) Calculate the pressure at point X, located between points 6 and 7(70 m from 6, ZX =125 m).
(c) Develop an operation curve of the system by plotting Q in relation to Z. If you wanted to convey
Q =0.13m3/s through the system, what would the required pump head be?(i.e., the additional
pressure head caused by the presence of a pump)
