The difference in water surface levels in two tanks, which are connected by three pipes in series of lengths 300 m, 170 m and 210 m and of diameters 300 mm, 200 mm and 400 mm respectively, is 12m.

Determine the rate of flow of water if coefficient of friction are 0.005, 0.0052 and 0.0048 respectively, considering: 

(i) minor losses also 

(ii) neglecting minor losses.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To determine the rate of flow of water in the given system we can use the DarcyWeisbach equation which relates the flow rate to the head loss due to friction in a pipe i Considering minor losses The t... View the full answer
