MFL2602 Major Test 1 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. P = 40kPa gauge Tank 2 K = 0.5 Flow D = 250mm Tank 1 Exit Pi 3 m K=0.5
