QUESTION 2 , (a) In a rare pipe system design, there is such a case whereas the minor losses is greater than major losses. Describe the case and explain the reason why minor losses value is more than major losses value. (b) Water at 35°C flows steadily in a 4 cm,diameter pipe at velocity of 3.5 cm/s. The head loss is 0.5 m. Calculate: i) the length of theuotual pipe, ii) the pressure loss, and iii) the pumping power required to overcome this pressure drop.
It is required to pump water at the rate of 8.750 gpm from a reservoir whose surface is at an elevation of 180 ft to a tank whose bottom is at an elevation of 372 ft, The pump is placed at an elevation of 192 ft, the diameter of the suction pipe is 30 inch, the length of the pipe from the pump to the tank is 290 ft, and the estimated size of this pipe is 24 inch. The sum of the minor head losses in the suction and discharge pipe may be taken as 1.5 ft, if the maximum depth of water in the tank is to be 25 ft, what is the required horsepower of a pump for which the overall efficiency is 67 percent? Assume head loss due to friction in 290 ft + 2 ft Neglect all other head losses.

Since there is a need to supply more water from reservoir A to reservoir B, it is necessary to lay an additional pipe parallel to it. The existing pipe is 0.6m in diameter with a discharge of 0.5m³/sec between the two reservoirs and 6000m long. Assume f = 0.02 %3| for the old pipe and f = 0.25 for the additional pipe. Determine the following: %3D a. If the additional pipe will have a discharge of 0.65m³/sec of the same length and the head difference between the two reservoirs is constant, find the pipe diameter. ANSWER: h= 25m Existing Pipe Q=0.50m³/sec D = 0.697 m в Additional Pipe b. If the additional pipe of 0.6m in diameter is laid out from the original pipe at its midpoint towards reservoir B, find its capacity. Assume f = 0.02. Also solve for the change in the %3D flow or discharge from A to B. ANSWER: Existing Pipe h=25m QA = 0.7232m/s, QB = 0.3923m³/s, %3D AQ = QA – Q = 0.5271m³/s %3D | в `Additional Pipe
A semi-modular pipe outlet of diameter 16 cm is to be installed on adistributary with its bed level and full supply level at 100.3 and 101.5 m, respectively. Themaximum water level in the watercourse is at 101.15 m. Set the outlet for maximum dischargeand calculate the same. The coefficient C in the discharge in the equation may be takenas 0.62. Is the setting proportional, subproportional or hyper-proportional?
