Figure 6.7: The two connected reservoirs.
A uniform pipeline, 5168(L)m long, 212(D)mm in diameter, with a roughness lon of 0.031
mm, conveys water between two reservoirs, as shown in Figure 6.7. The difference in water
level H is maintained constant at 49m. The pipe is connected to the reservoirs with a sharp
edge. Along the pipe, there is a valve whose head loss coefficient fv is 11.4. The viscosity of
the water is 0.9*10-6m2s-1. Determine the velocity of the flow in the pipe joining the two
reservoirs and draw the energy and hydraulic grade lines. Of the three schematics shown in
Figure 6.8, wich is realistic (the top, the middle or the bottom)?
Hint: Write the energy balance including major and minor losses. Since you do not know
the velocity, you do not know the Reynolds number. You also do not know f. Guess a value
of f(or the velocity) and calculate the velocity (or f) from the energy balance. Calculate Re
and use either the Moody diagram or the Colebrook-White formula to calculate a new value
of f. Repeat until the procedure converges to a single value.
