Module 1: Flow through pipes and Module 2: Laminar flow
I. A compound pipe system consists of 1800m (length) of 0.5m diameter pipe, 1200m of
0.4m, 600m of 0.3m. They are of same material and are connected in series. What's the
equivalent length of 0.4m pipe of same material. What's the equivalent size of a pipe
3600m long? If above pip es are connected in parallel, calculate the equivalent diameter.
2. A pipe 0.05m diameter, Sm long carries a discharge of 0.005m²/s. Find the head lossdue
to friction, if the central 2m length of pipe is replacd by a pipe of 7.5cm diameter. The
changes being sudden. Find the head loss and corresponding power due to adoption of
this alternative. Fanning friction factor 0.01 for all the pipes and contrction loss
coefficient is 0.5
3. Two reservoirs with differençe of elevation 1Sm are connected by 3 pipes in series the
pipes lengths are Ll= 300m d] =0.3m fl= 0.018; L2= 150m d2 =0.2m f2- 0.02,
L3= 200Om, d3= 0.25m, f3= 0.019. Calculate discharge in Liters per second, Plot HGL
and TEL

4. A pipeline carrying water has a diameter of 0.5m and is 2km long, To increase the
discharge, another pipelin:of same diameter is introduced parallel to the first pipe in the
second half of its length. Find increase in discharge, if total head loss in both cases is Imof
5. 4. A cast iron pipe (E = lx10"'Pa) is 0.9m in diameter carries water (K = 2x10'Pa) at a
velocity of 2.Om/s. A valve is closed instantaneously to stop the flow. Estimate the water
hammer head produced due to this action, The pipe thickness is 1.5cm. The pipe can be
treated as elastic. If thetest pressure for the pipe is 22Om, state whether there is any risk
of pipeline burst.

6. Two reservoirs are connected with siphon pipe; the difference of elevation Pipe
surface is 12m. Summit point is 3m above upper reservoir's surface level, presstre
connecting the two reservoirs has diameter 30cm and length 1000m, Absolute discharge ahd
anywhere in the pipeline should not be less than 2,Sm of water, Calculate
inlet length. Darcey's frict on factor is 0.02. Consider all losses.

7. A pipe of diameter 300mm and length 3500m is used for
discharge for the head available
The total head at inlet is 500m. Calculate the maximum
