QUESTION 4: 25 MARKS As shown in Figure 4 below, water flows at a rate of Q = 1.5 m3/s between reservoir 1 with water elevation h1 = 300 m and reservoir 2 with unknown water elevation h2, via a pipeline of length L = 800 m, diameter D = 0.5 m and roughness ks = 2 mm. All local losses must also be considered including the local loss of an 80% open valve. The local loss curve for various valve openings has been supplied in the figure below. Complete the following: a) For the provided values, calculate the water elevation in reservoir 2 (hz). [8 MARKS] b) Sketch the pipeline system together with the hydraulic grade line (HGL) and total headline (THL) along the full system. [4 MARKS]
