Two reservoirs are connected by three pipes laid in parallel, their diameters are d for Pipe 1, 1.

6d for Pipe 2 and 3d

for Pipe 3, respectively, and they a re all of the same lengths. Assuming the friction coefficient (i.e A) is the same for
all the pipes, what will the discharge through each of the larger pipes be, if the smallest is discharging 361/s.

A B
a)
The discharge through Pipe 2, of diameter 1.6d, is xx.xx 1/ s.

The steady outflow from t he rese rvoi rs at A and B are0.04 m 3/s and 0.05 m 3 /s.

Calcu late the relative heights of the oil levels i n the reservoirs, as measured from reservoir( by fol lowing the
steps below.
Finally, ca lcu late the pressure (in m -head) just downstream of node D, in pipe CD (i.e value of t he HGL).

The oil transpo rted in the system has a density of 700 kg/m 3 and dynamic viscos ity of 0.007 N s/m 1 .
Neglect all losses other than friction, and use t he Barr (1975) equation to calculate the friction factor of t he pipes.
The depth of ea ch reser voir may also be neglected.
