Discharge Calculation in Pipeline System

The document presents a tutorial question regarding fluid flow through a pipeline system connecting two reservoirs with a constant elevation difference of 150 m. It provides specific parameters such as roughness factor, distances, and diameters of the pipelines, and asks for the calculation of discharge through three branches of the pipeline. The focus is on applying fluid dynamics principles while ignoring minor losses.

Flow through pipes


Question 1
Question 3
Two reservoirs are connected by a pipeline that splits into two branches as shown in the figure below. The
difference in the elevation of the water surface between the upper and lower reservoir, Z, is constant at 150 m. The
roughness factor of all the pipes is λ=0.04. The branch in the pipeline occurs 23 km from the upper reservoir, the
lower pipelines being each 20 km long. The diameters of pipelines 1,2 and 3 are respectively 1.5m, 0.9m and 1.0m.
Ignoring minor losses, calculate the discharge through the three pipelines.
