(5 marks) 12331

2.a. The difference of water level of two reservoir is 6m. They are connected by 30m long pipe. For the first 20m length the diameter of the pipe is 120mm and for the remaining length the diameter is 200mm, the change in diameter being sudden. Find discharge into lower reservoir. Take $f = 0.0084$. Draw HGL and TEL also.
(10 marks) 12332

2.b. Derive an expression for equivalent size of pipe in series. A piping system consists of three pipes arranged in series. The lengths of the pipes are 1000m, 800m, 300m and the diameters are 500mm, 400mm and 300mm respectively when they are connected in series. These pipes are to be replaced by a single pipe of length 2100m. Find the diameter of single pipe.
