4.4.1. The total discharge from
A
to
B
in Figure
P4.4.1
is
0.936(m^(3))/(s)
. Pipe 1 is
100m
long with a diameter of
40cm
, and pipe 2 is
100m
long with a diameter of
50cm
. Determine the head loss between
A
and
B
(junctions) and the flow rate in each pipe using (a) Hardy-Cross principles and (b) the method of equivalent pipes. Assume
e_(1)=2.0mm
and
e_(2)=1.25mm
for the highly tuberculated pipes,
20\deg C
water, and minor losses are negligible. Hint: A direct solution is possible using the conservation of mass and energy principles. Figure P4.4.1
