(a)

A Horizontal pipe line 40 m long is connected to a water tank at

one end and discharges freely into the atmosphere at the other
end. For the first 25 m of its length from the tank, the pipe is
150 mm diameter and its diameter is suddenly enlarged to 300
mm. The height of water level in the tank is 8 m above the centre
of the pipe. Considering all losses of which occur, determine the
rate of flow. Take f = 0.01 for both sections of the pipe? and
draw the Total energy line & Hydraulic gradient line for this
problem with corresponding values?
(OR)
A pipe of diameter 0.4m and of length 2000 m is connected to a
reservoir at one end. The other end of pipe is connected to a
junction from which two pipes of lengths 1000m and diameter
300mm run in parallel. These parallel pipes are connected to
another reservoir which is having a level of water 10m below the
water level of the above reservoir. Determine the total discharge
if f = 0.015.Neglect minor losses.
