"Two reservoirs 1200 m apart are connected by a 50-cm smooth concrete pipe. If the two reservoirs have an elevation difference of 5 m, determine the discharge (20 degree C) in the pipe by the Darcy Weisbach equation, (b) the Hazen- Williams equation, (c) the Manning equation. Assume minor losses are negligible and verify your results with computer software."

A municipal wastewater treatment plant discharges 20,000 m3/d of treated wastewater to a stream. The wastewater has a BOD5 of 30 mg/L with a k1 of 0.23 d-1. The temperature of the wastewater is 20 oC, and the dissolved oxygen is 2.0 mg/L. The stream just above the point of wastewater discharge flows at 0.65 m3/s, has a BOD5 of 5.0 mg/L, and is 90% saturated with oxygen. The temperature of the stream is also 20 oC. After mixing, the combined stream and wastewater flows at a velocity of 0.5 m/s and the reaeration constant, k2, is 0.45 d-1. (a) What is the oxygen level of the stream when it reaches a point 2 days downstream? (b) What is the critical oxygen level in the stream and how far downstream will it occur?

A column of water is at rest in the southern hemisphere. If it is stretched so that its vertical extent is increased and if it is constrained such that its latitude cannot change, how will the parcel adjust to maintain a constant value of potential vorticity?
