Static pressure measurements at stations A, B, C, and D are conducted to test for leakage in a water pipe passing through a hill. PA PB PC PD L1 L2 L3 B The following parameters are known: L1 = 1000 m, L2 = 1500 m, L3 = 1000 m, PA = 625 kPa, PB = 425 kPa, Pc = 200 kPa, PD = 100 kPa. The following assumptions are appropriate. o Flow is turbulent o Minor losses are negligible. o The friction factor does not vary between different sections There is a leak in only one section Based on the information provided. a. How would you detect if there is a leak? (3 pts) b. If there is a leak, identify the section where the leak exists. (3 pts) c. What percentage of the total flow rate is leaking? (4 pts) Provide clear explanations in words to arrive at an answer for (a) and (b). A correct answer without appropriate reason will not receive any points.
