The existing configuration for a water distribution system is presently considered inefficient. A secondary pipe was laid to accommodate a new development which fell through. You are asked to evaluate the possibility to replace the entirety of the pipes from figure 3 between points A and C by only 1 equivalent pipe. The capacity and head loss must be the same for this new pipe. Experimental gages installed within the pipes let you know that the head loss in pipe #3 is 3m. You can neglect singular head loss. 1 A Figure 3 f₁ = 0.02 D₁ = 0.15 m L₁ = 600 m 1 B f₂ = 0.018 D₂ = 0.10 m L₂ = 600 m 2 f₂ = 0.02 D3 = 0.15 m. L3 = 400 m 3 C

QUESTION 2 , (a) In a rare pipe system design, there is such a case whereas the minor losses is greater than major losses. Describe the case and explain the reason why minor losses value is more than major losses value. (b) Water at 35°C flows steadily in a 4 cm,diameter pipe at velocity of 3.5 cm/s. The head loss is 0.5 m. Calculate: i) the length of theuotual pipe, ii) the pressure loss, and iii) the pumping power required to overcome this pressure drop.
Three pipes of 400 mm, 300 mm and 200 mm diameters have lengths of 400 m, 300m, and 200 m respectively. They are connected in series to make a compound pipe. The endsof this compound pipe are connected with two tanks whose difference of water levels is 16 m. If co-efficient of friction for these pipes is same and equal to 0.005, determine the dischargethrough the compound pipe neglecting first the minor losses and then including them. faaaasttt
