    Section B: Problem Solving (30 Marks)


    Question 1 (20Marks)
    A pipe system consists of three pipes connected in series: Pipe A, Pipe B, and Pipe C. Pipe A has a length of
    100 meters, a diameter of 0.3 meters, and a friction factor of 0.02. Pipe B has a length of 50 meters, a
    diameter of 0.4 meters, and a friction factor of 0.03. Pipe C has a length of 80 meters, a diameter of 0.2
    meters, and a friction factor of 0.01. The flow rate through the system is 0.05 m3/s. Calculate
    a) The velocity VA, VB, and VC of the fluid in each pipe section (9Marks)
    b) The head loss ΔhA, ΔhB, ΔhC for each pipe (9Marks)
    c) The total head loss Δhtotal (2Marks)

    Question 2 (20Marks)
    The flow rate between tank A and tank B shown in Figure 2 is to be increased by 30% (i.e. from Q to 1.30Q)
    by the addition of a second pipe (indicated by the dotted lines) running from node C to tank B. If the
    elevation of the free surface in tank A is 25ft above that in tank B. determine the diameter. D, of this new
    pipe. Neglect minor losses and assume that the friction factor for each pipe is 0.02.

    Question 3 (20Marks)
    For the pipe network shown below, find the discharge in all the pipes. All pipes are 1 km long and 300 mm
    in diameter, with a friction factor of 0.0163. Assume that minor losses can be neglected.
