    Problem 1. The three reservoirs A, B and C are connected by pipelines A, B and C respectively.

    The
    elevation of reservoir A is equal to 200m. while that of C is 178m. The discharge flowing towards
    reservoir B is 0.60 m3/s. Reservoir B is higher than that on C.

    Pipes Diam. Length Friction factor “f”

    A 800mm 1500m 0.0158

    B 600mm 450m 0.0168

    2) Compute the rate of flow towards reservoir C.

    3) Compute the elevation of reservoir B.


    Solution:
    Problem 2. The pump shown draws 25 liters per second of water from reservoir A and lifts it to
    reservoir B. The head lost from A to 1 is three times the velocity head in the 150-mm pipe and from 2
    to B is ten times the velocity head in the 100-mm pipe.

    Solution:
    Problem 3. A pump draws water from reservoir A and lifts it to reservoir B as shown. The loss of
    head from A to 1 is 3 times the velocity head in the 150mm pipe and the loss of head from 2 to B is
    20 times the velocity head in the 100 mm pipe. When the discharge is 20 liters/sec.

    1) Compute the horsepower output of the pump in kilowatts.

    2) Compute the pressure head at 1.

    3) Compute the pressure head at 2.


    Solution:
    A discharge of 750 liters/sec. flows through a pipe having a diameter of 400 mm Ø. Length of 65m. long, compute the head loss of
    the pipeline using: 1) Mannings Equation with n=0.013; 2) Darcy Weishback formula with f = 0.012; 3) Hazen Williams Formula
    with C = 100.

    Solution:
    Two reservoirs A and B have elevations of 250 m and 100m respectively. It is connected by a pipe
    having a diameter of 25 mm Ø and a length of 100m. A turbine is installed at point in between
    reservoirs A and B. If C = 120, compute the following if the discharge flowing in the pipe is 150
    liters/sec.
