1. Water (v = L x 10-6 ^'/a, p : !000 kg/m3) is drained from the open tank shown in the
figure. The water discharge into the surrounding air. Using a suitable iterative technique,
determine the pipe flowrate Q in cubic metresper second.Use an appropriate friction factor
J suitable for the flow conditionsin the pipe. Include the efects of minor losses(rninor loss
coefficients are showu on the diagta,m).

A pump station is to be installed to deliver water from a reservoir of surface elevation
a single
to another of elevation g0 m as shown in the figure. The pump characteristic of
pump is defined by
Hp= 59 - 455Q2
pumps
where H, b the pump head in metres,ud, Q is the flowrate in m3/s' Two ideutical
the
are available for installation inside the pump station and you should consider using
following configurations: single PumP,two pumps in pa,rallel,or two Pumps in series'
(a) What pump configurationmust be usedto deliverwater to the higher reservoir?Briefly
e:rplain why and,
(b) Determinethe flowrate,Q (-t/r), at which the pump station will deliverwater assuming
