1 - Analysis and Design of Water Distribution Systems


Assignment #2
Solution

1. A pipe leads from a reservoir and discharges to the atmosphere after an elbow turn.
Compute the steady flowrate in the system. Sketch the EGL and HGL for the system.
What are the locations of maximum and minimum pressures and what are their
magnitudes (in kPa)? Assume fully turbulent flow. Use Darcy-Weisbach equation for
friction losses. Minor loss coefficients, M, are 0.5 at reservoir exit, and 0.2 at the elbow.
Pipe 1 connects to the reservoir at an elevation of 38 m.

Solution

Applying energy equation between 1 and 3,


p1 Q2 p3 Q2
+ + z1 = + + z3 + hL (1)
γ 2 gA2 γ 2 gA2
where p is the gage pressure, 𝛾 is the specific weight of water (= 9.81 kN/m3), Q is the flow
rate, A is the cross-sectional area, z is the elevation, and ℎ𝐿 is the total head loss between
sections 1 and 3.
With atmospheric pressures at 1 and 3, and negligible velocity in reservoir, eq. (1) can be
written as
Q2
40 = + 28 + hL  hL = 12 − 10.2Q 2 . (2)

The friction head loss, ℎ𝑓 , as per the Darcy-Weisbach formula is 𝐾𝑝 𝑄2 , where 𝐾𝑝 =


0.0826𝑓𝐿
. L is the pipe length, f is the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor, and D is the pipe

diameter. Using the given values for f, L, and D, the friction head loss in pipe 1, ℎ𝑓−1 =
22.84 𝑄2 , and for pipe 2, ℎ𝑓−2 = 8.57 𝑄2 .

Therefore,

From eqns. (2) and (3), Q = 0.50 m3/s.

Max and Min pressures:


p1 = p3 = 0 kPa.

Compute pressures at sections 1’ (just downstream of the reservoir) and 2.

Problem 2:

A turbulent steady flowrate of 0.50 m3/s occurs through the completely smooth 40 cm diameter
pipe system through a pump as shown below. The total pipe lengths upstream and downstream
of the pump are 160 m and 400 m, respectively. The four 90° bends have a minor loss
coefficient of 0.2 each, and there is a minor loss coefficient of 0.5 at the reservoir exit. What are
the pressures (kPa) immediately upstream and downstream of the pump. Sketch the EGL and
HGL for the system. Use the Darcy-Weisbach friction formula. The kinematic viscosity of water,
ν = 1.004 *10-6 m2/s (at 20 °C).
