Solve the following neatly, systematically and completely.
PROBLEM SOLVING
Situation 1. The horizontal 30-cm diameter pipeline with friction factor equal to 0.025 has a leak. Upstream from the leak,
two gages 600m apart show a pressure difference of 140kPa. Downstream from the leak two gages 600m apart shows a
pressure difference of 126kPa.
a.) What is the discharge in the inlet?
b.) What is the discharge in the outlet?
c.) How much water, in liters/sec, is being lost from the pipe?
Situation 2. A certain liquid flows in a smooth pipe with the following specifications:
Length of pipe=20m, Re=1800, HL=30m and D=10mm.
a.) What is the friction factor?
b.) What is the value of the kinematic viscosity of the liquid in m2/s?
c.) What is the discharge in liters/min?
Situation 3. A turbine is installed between reservoirs A and B whose difference in water surface elevation is 140m. The pipe
connecting the reservoir has a diameter of 250mm and is 180m long. The flow of water is 180L/s. Use Hazen William’s
Constant C1=100.
a.) Determine the headloss in the pipe due to friction.
b.) What is the head extracted by the turbine?
c.) What is the power generated by the turbine assuming 90% efficiency?
Situation 4. Three reservoirs are interconnected as shown. All
relevant data are shown in the figure. if minor losses can be
ignored, and all pipes have a friction factor of 0.02, what is the
direction of flow, the corresponding magnitude of flow in each
pipeline and the pressure at point D?
