Hydraulics and Hydrology Tutorial 02

This document contains 3 questions related to hydraulics and hydrology calculations for pipe systems. Question 1 asks to calculate the discharge in a 10 cm diameter, 2000 m long pipeline connecting two reservoirs with a 50 m elevation difference, given the kinematic viscosity. Question 2 asks to calculate the flow rate in each pipe of a branched pipe system connecting two reservoirs with a 20 m elevation difference, given the pipe diameters and roughness. Question 3 asks to determine the flow distribution and piezometric heads at junctions in a piping system using the Hardy Cross method, assuming losses are proportional to Q2.

Question 1
A l0-cm diameter, 2000-m long pipeline connects
two reservoirs open to the atmosphere. What is
the discharge in the pipeline if the water surface
elevation difference of the reservoirs is 50 m?
Assume a smooth pipe and v = 1.02 X 10-6 m2/s.

Question 2
The pipe system shown in Figure connects two reservoirs
that have an elevation difference of 20 m. This pipe
system consists of 200 m of 50-cm concrete pipe (pipe A),
that branches into 400 m of 20-cm pipe (pipe B) and 400
m of 40-cm pipe (pipe C) in parallel. Pipes Band C join
into a single 50-cm pipe that is 500 m long (pipe D). For f
= 0.030 in all the pipes, what is the flow rate in each pipe
of the system?

Question 3
For the piping system shown in Figure,
determine the now distribution and piezometric
heads at the junctions using the Hardy Cross
method of solution. Assume that losses are
proportional to Q2.
