CHAPTER 5
Exercise 5.4
Two reservoirs are connected by a straight, uniform pipe
with diameter D = 2 cm and length L = 4 m. The pipe has p0
a friction factor λ = 0.020. The minor loss coefficients at Q
the inlet and outlet are 1 = 0,4 and 2 = 1, respectively.
The upstream reservoir is closed and the free-surface Q
pressure is p0. The water levels in both reservoirs are
equal. Given the discharge through the pipe is Q = 1.2 l/s. Hình bài 5.4
Determine the gage pressure p0.
Answer: 4.016 m
