Question: Two tanks A and B are connected by a pipe 1 0 0 ft . long. The first 7 0 ft . has a diameter

Two tanks A and B are connected by a pipe 100 ft . long.
The first 70 ft . has a diameter of 3 in . and then the pipe is suddenly reduced to 2 in . for the
remaining 30 ft . The difference of levels between the tanks is constant at 30ftf=0.005 and the
loss coefficient of contraction at all sudden changes of area is 0.32. Find all the head losses
including that at the sharp-edged pipe entry at A in terms of the velocity v 2 and hence find the
flow in gallons/min. Draw in Hydraulic Gradient diagram.
