Problem 3.

“We are built to build”

A liquid with a specific gravity of 0.68 is pumped from a storage tank to a free jet discharge through a
pipe of length L and diameter D. The pump provides a known amount of fluid power to the liquid.
Assuming a constant friction factor of 0.015, determine the discharge for the following conditions:
Z1 = 24m, P1 = 110Kpa, Z2 = 18m, L = 450m, d = 300mm, Ẇ = 10Kw

Problem 4.
For the system shown below, determine the water flow distribution and the piezometric head at the
junction using Branching pipe-three reservoir approach. Assume constant friction factors. The pump
characteristic curve is Hp = a – bQ2.
Given: a = 23m, b = 28s2/m5, z1 = 10m, z2 = 21m, z3 = 18m.

*Therefore, all pipes applicable for Swamee and Jain eqn.

Initially, assumed the flow to be fully turbulent to use the eqn.

Then solve for f,

𝑓1 = 1.325 {ln[0.27( 7.5E − 7)]}−2 = 0.018

𝑓2 = 1.325 {ln[0.27( 6E − 7)]}−2 = 0.017 𝑓3

= 1.325 {ln[0.27( 5E − 7)]}−2 = 0.017
