1.) What is the expected head loss per mile of a closed circular pipe with 17
in. inside diameter, friction factor of 0.03 when 3300 gal/min of water flow
under pressure? (10 points)

2.) Two reservoirs having a difference in elevation of 82 ft. is connected by


a 3-inch diameter pipe, 2500 ft. long with a roughness coefficient n=0.012.
After 10 years, the roughness coefficient n=0.0265. Find the percent change
in discharge. (15 points)

3.) A pipe network consists of pipeline 1 from A to B it is connected to


pipelines 2 and 2, where it merges again at joint C to form a single pipeline
4 up to point D. Pipelines 1, 2 and 4 are in series connection whereas
pipelines 2 and 3 are parallel to each other. If the rate of flow from A to B is
10 liters/sec. and assuming f = 0.02 for all pipes, compute the following:
a) Rate of flow of pipeline 3 in L/s. (5 points)
b) Rate of flow of pipeline 2 in L/s. (5 points)
c) Total head loss from A to D in m. (5 points)

4.) The design of a city water supply system is shown in the figure. Reservoir
A needs to supply 0.0938 m3/s to lower reservoir B and C. Pipe 1 is 300 m
diameter and 900 m long, pipe 2 is 200 mm diameter and 387 m long, and
pipe 3 is 200 mm diameter and 700 m long. The roughness coefficient for all
pipes is 0.011. Determine the following:
a) Flow rate of Pipe 2 in m3/s. (10 points)
b) Flow rate of Pipe 3 in m3/s. (10 points)
c) Elevation (m) of water surface in reservoir A to supply the needed
flow rate. (10 points)

5.) Water with a discharge of 750 liters/sec flows through a pipe having a
diameter of 400 mm and length of 65 m. Compute the head loss of the
pipeline using:
a) Darcy-Weisbach Formula with f=0.012 (5 points)
b) Hazen-William’s Formula with C=100 (5 points)
