Problem: Pipe Flow in Reservoir
Problem Statement
• A Syphon of diameter 20 cm connects two reservoirs whose water surface level differ by
40m. The total length of pipe is 8000m. The pipe crosses a ridge and the submit of ridge
is 8m above the level of water in upper reservoir. Determine the minimum depth of pipe
below the submit of ridge, if the absolute pressure head at submit of syphon is not to fall
below 3.0m of water. Take f=0.006 and atmospheric pressure head 10.3m of water. The
length of syphon from upper reservoir to submit is 500m. Find the discharge also.
