Solving A Question Concerning Water Supply Engineering #1

Here is a simple question:

Transmission pipe flows the water from A water source to B reservoir that has pipe length 5 km and will distribute to C with pipe length 2.3 km.Water level elevation of A is +110 m, B is +220 m, and C is +120 m. Solve the problems below:

• Determine the economic pipe diameter, if the head loss is less than 10 m/km for AB and BC segments, the coefficient of hardness (Hazen William) is 130, and the water discharge is 200 L/s!

• What is the value of head loss for the A-B segment?

• What is the power of a pump to transport the water, if its efficiency is 65%?

• What is the remain of pressure on C?

Hope this simple explanation can help you! Thank you.
