Water flows at a rate of 30 ft3/s from a reservoir with elevation 45 ft to a lower one with elevation 0
ft through a pipe Of length 1800 ft with bends, elbows, entrances and exits contributing a total of
minor losses Of ?K = 2.5. The pipe has a roughness e = 0.0005ft.
-Determine the pipe diameter needed.
-How important are minor losses? 
-Plot the EGL.

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.

Water flows steadily from an open tank as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) The elevation of point 1 is 10.0m , and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m . The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 4.80x10^-2m ; at point 3, where the water is discharged, it is 1.60?10^?2m. The cross-sectional area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Part A Assuming that Bernoulli's equation applies, compute the...
