Question: QUESTION 3 ( 2 5 Marks ) Water flows from one reservoir A to another reservoir B through a pipe of variable diameter as shown

QUESTION 3(25 Marks)
Water flows from one reservoir A to another reservoir B through a pipe of variable
diameter as shown in the figure below. Pipe AC is 40m long and 100mm in diameter
while pipe CB is 60m long and 150mm in a diameter. Darcy's friction f for both pipes
equals 0.006. The gradual expansion at C is at an angle of 10. The pipe entrance at A
and exit are sharp. Considering all losses,
3.1 Determine the flow rate from reservoir A to B at the instant when the difference in
elevation is 20m.(20)
3.2 Plot the total energy line and the hydraulic grade line for the pipeline ACB at the
ame instance, indicating values/levels at all salient points. (10)
