Problem 6
A 2.5-m-diameter pipe of length 2,500 m conveys water between two reservoirs at the rate of
the rate of 8.5 𝑚3 /𝑠. What must be the difference in water-surface elevations between the two
reservoirs? Neglect minor losses and assume 𝑓 = 0.018.
Solution:
For two reservoirs, the difference in elevation between the surfaces is equal to the total head.
