Water at 50 °F is being transported from one open reservoir to another open reservoir using a concrete pipe. The two reservoirs are 1.5 miles apart with a difference in surface elevations of 25 ft. Determine the minimum pipe diameter needed to carry 10 ft3 /s of water.

A bacterial cell that transits from a reservoir or from one host to another, is likely to encounter a range of non-optimal conditions in its new environment. For example, it may be exposed to damaging or toxic physical and chemical conditions. It will need to adapt if it is to survive. Outline what these physical and chemical properties are and give examples of how bacteria adapt to survive in these conditions.

Water at 70°F flows by gravity from a large reservoir at a high elevation to a smaller one through a 55-ft-long, 2-in-diameter cast iron piping system that includes four standard flanged elbows, a well-rounded entrance, a sharp-edged exit, and a fully open gate valve. Taking the free surface of the lower reservoir as the reference level, determine the elevation z1 of the higher reservoir for a flow rate of 10 ft3/min. The density and dynamic viscosity of water at 70°F...

A pump takes water at 60°F from a large reservoir and delivers it to the bottom of an open elevated tank 25 ft above the reservoir surface through a 3 inch ID pipe. The inlet to the pump is located 10 ft below the water surface, and the water level in the tank is constant at 160 ft above the reservoir surface. The pump delivers 150 gpm. If the total loss of energy due to friction in the piping system...

Expertise doesn't transfer automatically from one field to another: Being an expert in one area does not automatically qualify a person as an expert (or even as competent) in other areas. Is it the same with dishonesty? Many people think dishonesty does transfer, that being dishonest in one area automatically discredits that person in all areas. For example, when Bill Clinton lied about having sexual encounters with his intern, some said he couldn't be trusted about anything. Post your response...

Water is drawn from a reservoir and pumped an equivalent length of 2 miles through a horizontal, circular duct of 10-in. i.d. (wall roughness k = 0.01 ft). At the end of this duct, the flow is divided into a 4- and a 3-in. schedule 40 steel pipe. The 4-in. line has an equivalent length of 200 ft. and discharges to the atmosphere at a point 50 ft. above the surface of the water in the reservoir. This flow must...
