Three pipes A, B and C are connected in parallel. If the combined discharged of the 3 pipes is equal to 0.61 m3/s, and assuming they have equal values of friction factor f, compute the following using the tabulated data shown. PIPELINE A B A LENGTH 600 m. 480 m. 750 m. DIAM. 150 m. 200 m. 100 m.

1) Compute the rate of flow of pipeline A in li/sec. 2) Compute the rate of flow of pipeline B in li/sec. 3) Compute the rate of flow of pipeline C in li/sec.

A pipe network consists of pipeline 1 from A to B it is connected to pipelines 2 and 2, where it merges again at joint C to form a single pipeline 4 up to point D. Pipelines 1, 2 and 4 are in series connection whereas pipelines 2 and 3 are parallel to each other. If the rate of flow from A to B is 10 liters/sec. and assuming f = 0.02 for all pipes, compute the following: Pipelines 1 2 3 4 Diameter 200 mm 300 mm 200 mm 400 mm Length 3000 m. 2200 m. 3200 m. 2800 m.

1) Rate of flow of pipeline 3. 2) Rate of flow of pipeline 2. 3) Total head loss from A to D.

The three reservoirs A, B and C are connected by pipelines A, B and C respectively. The elevation of reservoir A is equal to 200m. while that of C is 178m. The discharge flowing towards reservoir B is 0.60 m3/s. Reservoir B is higher than that on C. Pipes Diam. A B C 800mm 600mm 450mm Length 1500m 450m 1200m Friction factor f 0.0158 0.0168 0.0175

1) Compute the rate of flow out of reservoir A 2) Compute the rate of flow towards reservoir C. 3) Compute the elevation of reservoir B.
