    The document contains 9 questions related to fluid flow through pipes. The questions cover topics like calculating total discharge for a system of pipes connected in series and parallel, demonstrating how adding a parallel pipe can enhance discharge, calculating head loss, flow rates, power requirements and lift for pump systems. Several questions provide details on pipe diameters, lengths, roughness, flow rates, reservoir elevations and require calculating values like discharge, head loss, power and lift.

    EXERCISES

    1) Two water reservoirs are connected by a pipe 610m of 0.3m diameter, f=0.038

    and the flow produced by the difference in water surface elevations equals

    0.17cumecs, if a new pipe of 0.3m diameter and length 460m is laid from the

    highest reservoir parallel to the old line and connected to the old line 460m from

    its inlet. Determine the total discharge for the improved system, f=0.019 for the

    new pipe. Neglect secondary losses.

    2) One of the advantages of parallel connections in water pipe network distribution

    is to enhance discharge. Demonstrate this fact with this question. A straight

    300mm diameter pipeline 5km long is laid between two reservoirs of surface

    elevations150m and 100m. The pipeline enters these reservoirs 10m below their

    water surface levels. To increase the capacity of the line a 300mm diameter line

    2.5km long is laid parallel to and from the original lines mid-point to the lower

    reservoir. What increase in flow rate is gained by installing the new line? Assume

    the friction factor is 0.02 for all the pipes and neglect minor losses.

    3) A three pipe system is such that the total pressure drop is 1.5bar and the

    elevation drop is 5m. The length L, diameter d and friction factorf for the three

    pipes are given in the table below.

    Pipe Length L (m) Diameter D (m) f


    1 150 10.0 0.0275
    2 200 7.5 0.0245
    3 75 5.0 0.0315
    Calculate the ratio of the total flow rates for the case in which the pipes are

    connected in series compare to the case in which the pipes are in parallel. The

    density of water can be taken as 1000kg/m3.

    4) Two long pipes are used to convey water between two reservoirs whose water

    surfaces are at different elevations. One pipe has a diameter twice that of the

    other. If both pipes have the same value of friction factor and if minor losses are

    neglected, what is the ratio of the flow rates through the two pipes

    5) A 2.0m diameter concrete pipe of length 1560m for which =1.5mm conveys

    120C water between two reservoirs at a rate of 8.0m3/s. What must be the

    difference in water surface elevation between the two reservoirs?

    6) For the diagram below and the information in the table below.

    Pipe No Diameter (mm) Length (m) f


    1 200 300 0.021
    2 300 300 0.0185
    3 450 300 0.0165
    4 300 600 0.0185
    5 300 700 0.0185
    Find the equivalent length of a 300mm diameter clean cast iron pipe to replace the

    above system. For H=10m, =0.25mm, what is Q?

    64
    7) (a) For laminar flow in pipes f ' = . Using this information, develop the
    Re

    expression for the velocity in terms of lost head due to friction, diameter and other

    pertinent items.
    (b) How much power is lost per meter of pipe length when oil with a viscosity of

    0.20N.s/m2 flows in a 20cm diameter pipe at 0.5L/s. The oil has a density of

    840kg/m3.

    (c) Oil of absolute viscosity 0.1Pa.s and relative density 0.85 flows through 3048m of

    305mm cast iron pipe at the rate of 44.4x10-3m3/s. What is the lost head in the pipe?

    8) Water is pumped 15Km, from a reservoir at elevation 30m to second reservoir

    64m. The pipeline connecting the reservoirs is 1.5m in diameter. It is concrete and

    has an absolute roughness of 0.9mm. If the flow is 109L/s and pumping station

    efficiency is 80%, what will be the monthly power bill if electricity costs 30kobo per

    kilowatt hour? (f=0.0175).

    9) It is necessary to pump 0.38m3/s of water from reservoir at an elevation of 270m

    to a tank whose bottom is at an elevation of 330m. The pumping unit is located at

    elevation 270m. The suction pipe is 0.6m in diameter and very short so head losses

    may be neglected. The pipeline from the pump to the upper tank is 123m long and is

    0.5m in diameter. Consider the minor losses in the line to equal 0.75m if water. Find

    the maximum lift of the pump and the power required for pumping if the pump

    efficiency is 76%. The maximum depth of water in the tank is 11.4m and the supply

    lines are cast iron, f=0.017.
