Question: Problem 3 The two - reservoir system shown in Figure 3 consists of three concrete pipes with roughness k s = 0 . 3 5

Problem 3
The two-reservoir system shown in Figure 3 consists of three concrete pipes with roughness ks=0.35mm for all pipes and an elevation difference of H=50m between two reservoir level. For minor losses consider: Kent =0.5(entry loss factor), Kext =0.15(exit loss factor). Ignore minor losses at diameter changes and consider the kinematic viscosity as: v=110-6m2s and g=9.81ms2.
a) Calculate the flow rate between the two reservoirs.

b) A new alternative solution is being considered to link the two reservoirs consisting of one pipe having a constant diameter. The flow rate calculated in part (a) must be achieved and you can use the friction factor of Pipe 1 in part (a) for the new pipe. A control valve will also be added to the system with a minor loss coefficient of KL
u=3.2. What is the diameter required for the pipe?

Problem 4
Water flows in the system shown in Figure 4. The pressure at A is measured as pA=543kPa(kNm2). If the head loss between A and B is hf(A-B)=3.5m.
a) Calculate the total flow rate in pipe 3 joining B-C
[3 marks]
b) Calculate the pressure at C.
[3 marks]
You may assume the friction factor, =0.018 for all pipes, and the water density r=1000kgm3. Ignore local losses at the pipe bends and junctions.
