Question
Reservoirs A and B with water levels at 72 m and
57 m respectively above datum are connected to
a junction J located at 43 m above datum. A third
pipeline connects a third reservoir with the junction.
The pipeline parameters are as follows.
Pipe reach
Diameter (mm) 400
Length (m)
The friction factor for all the pipes may
be assumed as f = 0.02. If a pressure
gauge at the junction reads 90 kN/m², determine
the distribution of discharges in the three pipes
and also the water surface elevation in the reservoir
C. Neglect local losses.
