If the velocity of flow in a 75

mm diameter fire hose is 0.5

m/s, what is the velocity in a
25 mm diameter jet issuing
from a nozzle attached at the
end of the pipe.
A pipe carrying oil (S = 0.877) change sin size from 150
mm at section 1 and 450 mm at section 2. Section 1 is
3.6 m below section 2 and the pressures are 90 kPa and
60 kPa respectively. If the discharge is 150 L/s,
determine the head lost and the direction of flow
Water enters a motor through a 600 mm diameter pipe under a pressure of 14
kPa. It leaves through a 900 mm dimeter exhaust pipe with a pressure of 4 kPa.
A vertical distance of 2.5 m separates the centers of the two pipes at the
section where the pressures are measured. If 500 Liters of water pass the
motor each second, compute the power supplied to the motor.

Pipes in Series:
• Two pipes, each 300 m long, are connected in series.
The flow of water through the pipes is 150 L/s with a
total frictional loss of 15 m. If one pipe has a diameter of
300 mm, what is the diameter of the other pipe?
Neglect minor losses and assume f = 0.02 for both pipes.
A 2.5 m diameter pipe of length 2,500 m conveys water
between two reservoirs at the rate of 8.5 m3/s. What
must be the difference in water surface elevations
between the two reservoirs? Neglect minor losses and
assume f = 0.018.
For the pipe network shown below, determine the flow in each
pipe and the total head lost from A to D if the rate of flow from
A to B if 10 L/s and assuming f = 0.02 for all pipes.

A trapezoidal channel with side slopes of 2H

to 1V is designed to carry a normal flow of
200 cfs. The channel is grass-lined with a
Manning’s n of 0.025 and has a bottom slope
of 0.0006 ft/ft. Determine the normal depth
and bottom width assuming normal flow and
bottom width as 1.5 times the normal depth
