Question: Question 4 [ 2 0 marks ] a ) Determine the rate of flow of water through a pipe of 2 5 0 mm diameter

Question 4[20 marks]a) Determine the rate of flow of water through a pipe of 250mm diameter placed in an inclinedposition where a venturimeter is inserted, having a throat diameter of 150mm.The difference of pressure between the main and throat is measured by a liquid of specificgravity 0.8 in a U-tube which gives a reading of 300mm. The loss of head between themain and throat is 0.3 times the kinetic head of the pipe. [10 marks]b) Assuming the flow of water from an open reservoir at point A to an open reservoir at point D,assisted by a pump connected between the two reservoirs. With the aid of a diagram, graphicallyrepresent and explain the Energy Changes in the fluid System clearing showing the Hydraulicgradient line and the Total energy line.
