Question

A pipe system connects two reservoirs whose difference in elevation is 150 ft. The pipe system consists of 1000 ft of 24 inch concrete pipe, branching into 1000 ft of 12 inch concrete pipe and 1200 ft of 18 ich concrete pipe in parallel, which join again to a single 24 inch line 2000 ft long. What would be the flow discharge in each pipe? assume f=0.02 for all pipes and assume that the minor losses can be neglected.

Answer 1

Flow discharge in each pipe neglecting the minor losses is to be determined.

Friction factor f = 0.02
