    Section B: Problem solving (60 Marks)


    Question 1 (20Marks)
    For Pipe A:
    Length (LA) = 100 meters
    Diameter (DA) = 0.3 meters
    Friction factor (fA) = 0.02
    Flow rate (Q) = 0.05 m3/s

    First, calculate the velocity (VA) in Pipe A:


    VA = Q / (π * (DA/2)2)
    VA = 0.05 / (π * (0.3/2)2)
    VA ≈ 0.707 m/s

    calculate the head loss (ΔhA) in Pipe A:


    ΔhA = fA * (LA/DA) * (VA2/2g)
    ΔhA = 0.02 * (100/0.3) * (0.7072/ (2 * 9.81))
    ΔhA ≈ 2.377 meters

    For Pipe B:
    Length (LB) = 50 meters
    Diameter (DB) = 0.4 meters
    Friction factor (fB) = 0.03

    Calculate the velocity (VB) in Pipe B and the head loss (ΔhB) in Pipe B.
    VB= Q / (π * (DB/2)2)
    VB = 0.05 / (π * (0.4/2)2)

    Page 1 of 6
    VB ≈ 0.797m/s

    ΔhB = f_A * (LB/DB) * (VB2/2g)


    ΔhB = 0.03 * (50/0.4) * (0.7972 / (2 * 9.81))
    ΔhB ≈ 1.754 meters

    For Pipe C:
    Length (LC) = 80 meters
    Diameter (DC) = 0.2 meters
    Friction factor (fC) = 0.01

    Calculate the velocity (Vc) in Pipe C and the head loss (Δhc) in Pipe C.

    VC = Q / (π * (DC/2)2)
    VC = 0.05 / (π * (0.2/2)2)
    VC ≈ 1.591 m/s

    ΔhC = f_C * (L_C/D_C) * (V_C^2/2g)


    ΔhC = 0.01 * (80/0.2) * (1.591^2 / (2 * 9.81))
    ΔhC ≈ 0.648 meters

    ΔHtotal = hA + hB + hC
    ΔHtotal = 2.377m + 1.754m + 0.648m
    ΔHtotal = 4.779m
