An 18-in diameter pipeline (L = 30,000 ft, ε = 0.0045 ft) connects 2 water reservoirs. The upstream reservoir elevation is 825 ft and the downstream reservoir elevation is 600 ft.

a) Assume f = 0.023 and calculate steady state flow rate (ft3/sec) in the pipeline


b) Check validity of friction factor assumption if water temperature is 50°F


c) Briefly explain why your calculated velocity in this pipe is acceptable

A pump needs to move water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir at a rate of 600 cfs through a 9,000 ft long, 6-ft diameter pipeline (f = 0.03). For a 1,500 ft change in water surface elevation between the lower and upper reservoirs, compute the needed power input to the pump assuming a pump efficiency of 75% and that minor losses are negligible. In addition, compute the needed power input to the corresponding motor assuming the motor...

Design a cast iron (kd=8*10‐4 ft) pressurized system (pipe diameter) that would convey water at 2 ft3/s from two elevated tanks separated 200 ft long. The difference in water surface elevation between the tanks is 20 ft and the kinematic viscosity is 1.217*10‐5 ft2/s. Along the system the entrance loss and the exit loss have a KL of 0.5 and 1, respectively. Two 90 degrees bends are present (KL=3) and a global valve (KL=10) is also installed along the system.
