Type I (flow-rate problem): diameter (D) and head loss (ft7) known; find the discharge (B).
Example. A pipeline 10 km long, 300 mm diameter and with rorgYn"g 0.03 mm, conveys
water from a reservoir (top water level 850. m above datum) to a water treatment plant (iniet
water level 700 m above datum). Assuming that the reservoir remains full, estimate the
discharge. Take v : i . lx 10-6 m' s-'. F*_}-+
6;, -1ao) ,nz
Solution: Since D (:0.3 m)^and h.1 ( 150m) are known, the Darcy-Weisbach head-loss
equation enables us to find /V':

diameter (D).
An appropriate procedure is to write D in terms of/and iterate for f. Note that expressions
involving Z must be replaced by Ql@dl+), and at intermediate stages is convenient to have
an expression for Re ready in terms of D.

Ener-gy gr4d_e*lines -a-nd hydraul_i.c gra_de Jines -are graphical means of portraying the energy
changes in, for example, reservoir/pipeline systems.

r The EGL always lies a distance f l2g above the HGL. For uniform pipes, the two are
llarallel.
. The EGL represents, at any station, the maximum height to which water may be
delivered.
r For pipe flow the HGL lies a distance plpg above the pipe centreline. Thus, the
difference between pipe elevation and hydraulic grade line gives the static pressure. If
the HGL drops below pipe elevation this means negative gauge pressures (i.e. less
than atmospheric). This is generally undesirable since:
- extraneous r.natter rnay be sucked into the pipe through any leaks;
- fbr large negative gauge pressures, dissolved gases may come out of solution and
cause water hamrner.
A hydraulic grade line more than px^lp7 (about l0m of water) below the pipeline is
impossible.
. The HGL is the height to which the liquid would rise in a piezometer tube.
