PROBLEM SOLVING
Instructions: Answer the following problems. Show your complete solution.

Situation 1 (10 points each).

Water flows through a pipe at 5 liters/sec, gage pressures of 12.5 kPa, 11.5 kPa, and 10.3 kPa are
measured for P1, P2, and P3 respectively. Compute the following:
a. Head loss between 1 and 2. (m)
b. Head loss between 1 and 3. (m)
c. Head loss between 2 and 3. (m)

Situation 2 (10 points each).

Assume the conduit shown has diameters of 300 mm and 450 mm at sections 1 and 2, respectively.
If water is flowing in the conduit at a velocity of 5 m/s at section 2, find the following:
a. Velocity at section 1. (m/s)
b. Flow rate at section 1. (m3/s)
c. Flow rate at section 2. (m3/s)
d. Weight flow rate. (kN/s)
e. Mass flow rate. (kg/s)
