os ‘A pipeline is 0.15m in diameter and is at an elevation of 100.00m
aYsection A. At section B itis at an elevation of 107.00m and has a 07m
diameter of 0.30m. When a discharge of 0.050m?/s of water is passed
through this pipe the pressure at section A is observed to be 30 kPa. The
energy (head) loss in the pipe js 2m.Calculate the pressure at B when the
flow is.) from A to B and (if) from B to A.
2% The diameter ofa pipe bend js 0.30m at inlet and 0.15m at outlet
ind the flow is turned through 120 degrees in a vertical plane. The axis at
the inlet is horizontal andthe centre of the outlet section is 1.5m below the
centre of the inlet section. Total volume of water in the bend is 0.9
