Question

A pipe of 0.7 m diameter has a length of 6 km and connects two reservoirs A and B. The water level in reservoir A is at an elevation 30 m above the water level in reservoir B. Halfway along the pipe line, there is a branch through which water can be supplied to a third reservoir C. The friction factor of the pipe is 0.024. the quantity of water discharged into reservoir C is 0.15 m3/s. Considering the acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/s2 and neglecting minor losses, the discharge (in m3/s) into the reservoir B is


  1. 0.572

Solution

The correct option is A 0.572

f=0.024, d=700 mm, l=6000 m

hf=flQ212.1d5

30=hf1+hf2

30=0.024×3000×Q212.1×0.75+0.024×3000×(Q0.15)212.1×(0.7)5

=35.40 Q2+35.40(Q0.15)2

Q=0.722 m3/s

QB=Q0.15=0.572 m3/s
