The summit of ridge is 8 m above the level of water in the upper reservoir. Determine the minimum depth of the pipe below the summit of the ridge, if the absolute pressure head at the summit of siphon is not to fall below 3 m of water. Take f = 0.006 and atmospheric pressure head = 10.3 m of water. The length of siphon from the upper reservoir to the summit is 500 m. Find the discharge.

Data :

Dia, of siphon, d = 200 mm = 0.2 m.

Difference in level of 2 reservoirs, H = 40 m.

Length of pipe = L = 8000 m.

Height of ridge summit from water level in upper reservoir = 8 m.

Let the depth of the pipe below …
