Problem 4(33 points total)
Consider the following pipeline consisting of a reservoir and four horizontal pipe segments
in series.
Each pipe segment has a length of x=100[m], has a diameter of D=75[cm], and
is made of commercial steel with Mannings roughness of n=0.010.
The last pipe segment is open to the atmosphere and discharges at a known flow rate
of Q3=1[m3s].
The depth of water in the reservoir is z=5[m] above the pipe entrance.
The pressure head is measured to be pc=1[m] at point (c).
At point (b), a service line extracts water from the pipeline at an unknown flow rate
of Qout,b.
At point (d), another service line extracts water from the pipeline at an unknown flow
rate of Qout,d.
Write the energy balance equation from (a) to (c), using Mannings equation (hL=
KQ2) for the frictonal head loss. Neglect minor losses. Simplify as much as possible,
but do not yet substitute numeric values. (6 points)
