Question
Pipe in series. As shown in the sketch below, a pipeline (f = 0.02) consisting of three pipes in series (6,000 ft of 12-in. diameter pipe, 10,000 ft of 18-in. diameter pipe, and 4,000 ft of 10-in. diameter pipe) runs from an upper reservoir to a lower reservoir with water surface elevations of 300 ft and 250 ft, respectively. Determine discharge through the pipeline and the pressure at each of the junction nodes (B and C). Neglecting minor losses.
