Solution

The correct option is A 104 lps
In this problem, the value of friction factor is not defined properly. Actually the value of friction factor is given but written as friction coefficient.

$15 = \frac{8 Q^{2}}{π^{2} g} \times \frac{(0.04) (1500)}{(0.324)^{5}}$

Q = 103.9 lps

Q. A single pipe of length 1500 m and diameter 60 cm connects two reservoirs having a difference of 20 m in their water levels. The pipe is to be replaced by two pipes of the same length and equal diameter 'd' to convey 25% more discharge under the same head loss. If the friction factor is assumed to be the same for all the pipes, the value of 'd' is approximately equal to which of the following options?

Q. A 2 km pipe of 0.2 m diameter connects two reservoirs. The difference between the water levels in the reservoir is 8 m. The Darcy Weisbach friction factor of the pipe is 0.04. Accounting for frictional entry and exit losses. The velocity in the pipe in (m/sec) is

Two reservoirs are connected through a 930 m long. 0.3 m diameter pipe, which has a gate valve. The pipe entrance is sharp (loss coefficient = 0.5) and the valve is half-open (loss coefficient = 5.5). The head difference between the two reservoirs is 20 m. Assume the friction factor for the pipe as 0.03 and g=10 m/s $^{2}$ . The discharge in the pipe accounting for all minor and major losses is m $^{3}$ /s

Q. Two long pipes in parallel are used to carry water between two reservoirs. The diameter of one pipe is twice that of the other. Both the pipes have the same value of friction factor. Neglect minor losses. What is the ratio of flow rates through the two pipes?

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 m $^{3}$ /s. Considering the acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/s $^{2}$ and neglecting minor losses, the discharge (in m $^{3}$ /s) into the reservoir B is
