Question 1. [28 MARKS] Consider a pipe system in Figure 1. Water is carried by a 455 m long concrete pipe from Tank 1 to an elevated Tank 2 at the rate of 0.15 m/s. The diameter of the pipe is 250 mm. The pipe's ends are square cornered (sharp-edged) and there are two bends. Determine the pressure P1 at Tank 1 and the exit velocity (just before it enters Tank 2). Assume kinematic viscosity of v = 0.113 x 10-5 m2/s. Consider all the losses in the system. Note: Only the frictional factor read from the provided Moody diagram will be acceptable. P2 = 40kPa gauge = Tank 2 K=0.5 Flow 37 m Tank 1 D = 250mm Exit P1 m K=0.5 Figure 1: Piping System
