Reservoirs A, B, and C are connected as shown in Figure 2.28. The water elevations in reservoirs A, B, and C are 100 m, 80 m, and 60 m, respectively. The three pipes connecting the reservoirs meet at the junction J, with pipe AJ being 900 m long, BJ 800 m long, CJ 700 m long, and the diameter of all pipes equal to 850 mm. If all pipes are made of ductile iron and the water temperature is 20°C, find the flow into or out of each reservoir. Elev. -100 m LAJ = 900 m Elev. 80 m LBJ= 800 m Elev. 60 m ➤IA A ➤B Ljc=700 m C Hint 1: You can assume fully turbulent flow to make finding f easier Hing 2: An alternative approach to start by assuming flow direction, create & solve a system of energy equations between the upper and lower reservoirs (rather than reservoir to junction) and applying continuity at the junction.
