Problem points total
Consider the following pipeline consisting of a reservoir and four horizontal pipe segments
in series.
Each pipe segment has a length of has a diameter of and
is made of commercial steel with Mannings roughness of
The last pipe segment is open to the atmosphere and discharges at a known flow rate
of
The depth of water in the reservoir is above the pipe entrance.
The pressure head is measured to be at point c
At point b a service line extracts water from the pipeline at an unknown flow rate
of
At point d another service line extracts water from the pipeline at an unknown flow
rate of
Write the energy balance equation from a to c using Mannings equation
for the frictonal head loss. Neglect minor losses. Simplify as much as possible,
but do not yet substitute numeric values. points
