    The pipe diameter is 100mm and has length 15m and feeds directly into the atmosphere at point C 4m
    below the surface of the reservoir (i.e. za – zc = 4.0m). The highest point on the pipe is a B which is 1.5m
    above the surface of the reservoir (i.e. zb – za = 1.5m) and 5 m along the pipe measured from the
    reservoir. Assume the entrance and exit to the pipe to be sharp and the value of friction factor f to be 0.08.
    Calculate a) velocity of water leaving the pipe at point C, b) pressure in the pipe at point B.

    a)
    We use the Bernoulli equation with appropriate losses from point A to C
    and for entry loss kL = 0.5 and exit loss kL = 1.0.

    For the local losses from Table 2 for a sharp entry kL = 0.5 and for the sharp exit as it opens in to the
    atmosphere with no contraction there are no losses, so
    u2
    hL = 0.5
    2g
    Friction losses are given by the Darcy equation
    4 fLu 2
    hf =
    2 gd
    Pressure at A and C are both atmospheric, uA is very small so can be set to zero, giving

    u2 4 fLu 2 u2
    zA = + zC + + 0.5
    2g 2 gd 2g
    u2 ⎛ 4 fL ⎞
    z A − zC = ⎜1 + 0.5 + ⎟
    2g ⎝ d ⎠
    Substitute in the numbers from the question
    u2 ⎛ 4 × 0.08 × 15 ⎞
    4= ⎜1.5 + ⎟
    2 × 9.81 ⎝ 0.1 ⎠
    u = 1.26m / s
    b)
    To find the pressure at B apply Bernoulli from point A to B using the velocity calculated above. The
    length of the pipe is L1 = 5m:
    2
    pB u 4 fL1u 2 u2
    zA = + +z + + 0.5
    ρg 2 g B 2 gd 2g
    pB u 2 ⎛ 4 fL1 ⎞
    z A −zB = + ⎜1 + 0.5 + ⎟
    ρg 2 g ⎝ d ⎠
    pB 1.26 2 ⎛ 4 × 0.08 × 5.0 ⎞
    − 1.5 = + ⎜1.5 + ⎟
    1000 × 9.81 2 × 9.81 ⎝ 0.1 ⎠
    p B = −28.58 × 103 N / m 2

    That is 28.58 kN/m2 below atmospheric.

    1.10 Pipes in series


    When pipes of different diameters are connected end to end to form a pipe line, they are said to be in
    series. The total loss of energy (or head) will be the sum of the losses in each pipe plus local losses at
    connections.
    Dr. Burhan S. Abdulrazzaq

    1.10.1 Pipes in Series Example


    Consider the two reservoirs shown in figure 16, connected by a single pipe that changes diameter over its
    length. The surfaces of the two reservoirs have a difference in level of 9m. The pipe has a diameter of
    200mm for the first 15m (from A to C) then a diameter of 250mm for the remaining 45m (from C to B).

    Figure 16:
    For the entrance use kL = 0.5 and the exit kL = 1.0. The join at C is sudden. For both pipes use f = 0.01.

    Total head loss for the system H = height difference of reservoirs

    hf1 = head loss for 200mm diameter section of pipe


    hf2 = head loss for 250mm diameter section of pipe
    hL entry = head loss at entry point
    hL join = head loss at join of the two pipes
    hL exit = head loss at exit point

    So
    H = hf1 + hf2 + hL entry + hL join + hL exit = 9m

    All losses are, in terms of Q:


    fL1Q 2
    hf 1 =
    3d15
    fL2Q 2
    hf 2 =
    3d 25

    hLexit = 1.0 = 1.0 × 0.0826 4 = 0.0826 4

    = 0.0826Q ⎜⎜ 2 − 2 ⎟⎟
    2

    2g ⎝ π ⎠ 2g ⎝ d1 d 2 ⎠

    Substitute these into


    hf1 + hf2 + hL entry + hL join + hL exit = 9

    and solve for Q, to give Q = 0.158 m3/s
