Question [28 MARK8] 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 comered (sharp-edged) and there are two bends. Determine the pressure P at Tank 1 and the exit velocity (just before it enters Tank 2). Assume kinematic viscosity of v = 0.113 x 10-6 m/s. Consider all the losses in the system. Note: Only the frictional factor read from the provided Moody dlagram will be acceptable. P = 40kPa gauge Tank 2 K -0.5 Flow 37 m Tank 1 D = 25inna Exit P1 K=0.5
