Question 1:
Question 2:
Two tanks A and B are connected by a pipe 2.54 m long. The first 1.778 m has a diameter of
0.0762 m and then it is suddenly reduced to 0.0508 m for the next 0.762 m. The distance of
levels between the tanks is constant at 0.2032 m. f for both pipes is 0.005 and the contraction
coefficient at the sudden change in area is 0.58. Find all the losses of head, including that at
the sharp-edged pipe entry from A in terms of the velocity V2 and at the exit of the 0.0508 m
pipe and hence find the flow rate in m3/s. [Q = 2.3606x10-3 m3/s]
