Head Losses Lecture

The document provides 4 sample problems related to calculating head losses in pipes carrying water. Problem 1 involves calculating head loss in a 250mm diameter pipe 500m long using 3 different formulas. Problem 2 involves calculating the discharge in a 1200mm by 600mm pipe given the head loss per meter. Problem 3 involves calculating head losses and discharge between 3 reservoirs. Problem 4 involves calculating flow rates in 3 pipes connecting reservoirs of different elevations.

Head Losses Sample Problems:

(Major Losses due to fric on) 1. Calculate the head loss in a 250-mm Ø pipe
500 m long when water flows at 115 liters per
second using:
a. Darcy-Weisbach formula, f = 0.02
b. Manning formula, n = 0.012
c. Hazen –Williams formula, C = 100

2. The loss of head in a 1200 mm x 600 mm pipe


conveying water is es mated at 0.04 m per meter
length. f= 0.032. What is the discharge?

Three – Reservoir Problem


3. From the given figure, the rate of flow from
reservoir A is 0.2 m3/s.
a. Compute the head loss in pipe B.
b. Compute the discharge in pipe C.
c. Compute the diameter of pipe C.

4. The eleva ons of reservoirs 1, 2, and 3 are 30 m, 18


m, and 0 respec vely. Pipes 1, 2, and 3 are 900 m
of 60 cm, 300 m of 45 cm, and 1200 m of 40 cm. f
= 0.02
a. What is the flow rate in pipe 1?
b. What is the flow rate in pipe 2?
Minor Loss (due to change in size or direc on,
c. What is the flow rate in pipe 3?
obstruc on, etc.)
