FLUID FLOW
Problem 1
Compute the discharge of water through 75 mm pipe if the mean velocity is 2.5 m/sec.
Problem 2
A pipe line consists of successive lengths of 380-mm, 300-mm, and 250-mm pipe. With a
continuous flow through the line of 250 Lit/sec of water, compute the mean velocity in each
size of pipe.
Flow in Pipes
Problem 3:
A pump draws water from reservoir A and lifts it to reservoir B as shown in Figure 4-10. The
loss of head from A to 1 is 3 times the velocity head in the 150-mm pipe and the loss of head
from 2 to B is 20 times the velocity head in the 100-mm pipe. Compute the horsepower
output of the pump and the pressure heads at 1 and 2 when the discharge is: (a) 12 L/s; (b)
36 L/s.
Midterm Requirement
1. Layout a Pipe Network in Ephanet 2.0 or later version (Submit a picture copy)
2. Include source of the water supply i.e reservoir
3. Compute for the water demand in (m3) based on the population of the community to
be served
4. Compute for the headloss for each pipe and determine the junctions which will
experience a vacuum or negative pressure head.
