Question 5 a) A pump draws water from a reservoir, where the water-surface elevation is 150 m, and forces the water through a pipe 1000 m long and 0.3 m in diameter. This pipe then discharges the water into a reservoir with water surface elevation of 185 m. The flow rate through the pipe is 0.25 m³/s, and the average height of roughness of the pipe is 0.25 mm. Determine the head supplied by the pump and draw the HGL and TEL for the system. Assume that the pipe is horizontal and is 155 m in elevation. Neglect entrance and exit losses in the calculations. (17 Marks) b) How do you use the HGL and TEL in Q5(a) in the pipe systems analysis? (5 Marks) c) If minor losses are included in the analysis, what effect will it have on the flow in the pipe in Q5(a)? (3 Marks)
