Preface
In the near future, energy is converted as a luxury item and water is considered as the most
vital item in the world due to reduction of water resources in most areas. In this condition,
role of water science researchers is more important than ever. If a water engineering student
is not educated well, he/she will not solves problems of water sciences in the future. Many
engineer students learn all necessary lessons in university, but they cannot to answer to the
problems or to pass the exams because of forgetfulness or lack of enough exercise. This book
contains one hundred essential problems related to water engineering with a small volume (20
problems about irrigation, 20 problems about drainage, 20 problems about water quality, 20
problems about hydrology, and 20 problems about hydraulics). Undoubtedly, many problems
can be added to the book but the author tried to mention only more important problems and
to prevent increasing volume of the book due to help to feature of portability of the book.
To promotion of student skill, both SI and English systems have been used in the problems.
All of the problems were solved completely. This book is useful for not only exercising and
passing the university exams but also for use in actual projects as a handbook. The handbook
of water engineering problems is usable for agricultural, civil, and environmental students,
teachers, experts, researchers, engineers, designers, and all enthusiastic readers in surface
and pressurized irrigation, drainage engineering, agricultural water management, water
resources, hydrology, hydrogeology, hydroclimatology, hydrometeorology, and hydraulics

Maximum irrigated area is related to the plant establishment stage (231 ha), however optimum irrigated area is calculated
as follows:
A0 = min {A1, A2, A3, A4} = min {231, 200, 46, 135} = 46ha
Due to high value of ky3 and for achievement to relative performance (70%), 46 hectares from area can only be irrigated
as optimum in flowering stage.
3. In a basin irrigation system, infiltration equation is Z = 6T0.5 (T as min and Z as millimeter), discharge in width
unit is 0.000286 cubic meters per second per meter, available discharge for irrigation is 0.00283 cubic meters per
second, there is not runoff, basin width is 6 meters, requirement effective storage in root depth is 100 millimeters, and
final infiltration after 4 hours (when water reach to the end of basin) is 10 millimeters per hour. Determine length of
basin, irrigation time, and average deep percolation.

11. The culturable command area for a distributary channel is 15000 hectares. The intensity of irrigation is 35%
for wheat and 20% for rice. The kor period for wheat and rice are 4 and 3 weeks, respectively. The kor watering depths
for wheat and rice are 135 and 190 mm, respectively. Estimate the distributary discharge.
Since the water demands for wheat and rice are at different times, these are not cumulative. Therefore, the distributary
channel should be designed for higher of the two values, i.e., 3.14 cms.
12. A soil core was drawn with a core sampler having an inside dimension of 5 cm diameter and 15 cm length
from a field two days after irrigation when the soil water was near field capacity. The weight of the core sampler
with fresh soil sample was 1.95 kg and the weight of the same on oven drying was 1.84 kg. The empty core sampler
weighted 1.4 kg. Calculate the (a) bulk density of soil, (b) water holding capacity of soil in per cent on volume basis

0.7 m < T therefore, spread falls outside V-shaped gutter section. An iterative solution technique must be used to solve
for the section spread, T, as illustrated in the following steps.
Step 4: Solve for the depth at point C, dc and compute an initial estimate of the spread, TBD along BD,
dc = dB BC (Sx2)
From the geometry of the triangle formed by the gutter, an initial estimate for dB is determined as:
(dB / 0.25) + (dB / 0.04) = 1.94 dB = 0.067 m

35. Given: A shallow basin with the following characteristics:
Average surface area = 1.21 ha (3 acres)
Bottom area = 0.81 ha (2 acres)
Watershed area = 40.5 ha (100 acres) C Post-development runoff coefficient = 0.3
Average infiltration rate for soils = 2.5 mm per hr (0.1 in per hr)
Mean annual evaporation is 89 cm (35 in or 2.92 ft).Find: For average annual conditions determine
if the facility will function as a retention facility with a Permanent pool.
Step 1: The computed average annual runoff as:
Runoff = CQDA = 0.3 x 1.27 x 40.5 x 10000 = 154305 m3
Step 2: The average annual evaporation is estimated to be:
Evaporation = Evaporation depth x Watershed area = 0.89 x 1.21 = 10769 m3

OMICS Group eBooks

From rainfall records, the average annual rainfall is about 127 cm (50 in or 4.17 ft)

021

Step 3: The average annual infiltration is estimated as:

Infiltration = infiltration rate x Time x Bottom area = 2.5 x 24 x 365 x 0.81
Infiltration = 177390 m3
Step 4: Neglecting basin outflow and assuming no change in storage, the runoff (or inflow) less evaporation and
infiltration losses is:
Net Budget = 154305 10769 177390 = -33854 m3
Since the average annual losses exceed the average annual rainfall, the proposed facility will not function as a retention
facility with a permanent pool. If the facility needs to function with a permanent pool, this can be accomplished by reducing
the pool size as shown below.
Step 5: Revise the pool surface area to be = 0.81 ha and bottom area = 0.40 ha
Step 6: Recomputed the evaporation and infiltration
Evaporation = 0.89 x 0.81 = 7210 m3
Infiltration = 2.5 x 24 x 365 x 0.4 = 87600m3
Step 7: Revised runoff less evaporation and infiltration losses is:
Net Budget = 154305 7210 87600 = 59495 m3
The revised facility appears to have the capacity to function as a retention facility with a permanent pool. However, it
must be recognized that these calculations are based on average precipitation, evaporation, and losses. During years of low
rainfall, the pool may not be maintained.
36. Given: Corn will be grown on a soil with a maximum root depth of 24 inches. The site has good surface drainage.
Refer to the figure for details. Determine: Determine the drain spacing needed to provide sub irrigation using the
design drainage rate (DDR) method.

Step 1- Determine the gradient m between drains. Using the DDR method, we assume that the water table at the
midpoint between drains is at the surface. Therefore, m is equal to the drain depth of 4 feet.
Step 2 - Since this site has good surface drainage, the design drainage rate is 1.1 centimeters
inch per day = .018 inch per hour.

per day, which is 0.433

Step 3 - Determine the equivalent hydraulic conductivity (Ke). Since flow occurs over the entire profile, the hydraulic
conductivity is:

-14 " 3.5. , - 34 "1.2 . , - 36 "1.5. ! 1.71in / hr

14 , 34 , 36

Step 4 - Determine the first estimate of the drain spacing needed for drainage using equation 10-5. As with the previous
examples, de is needed. For the first calculation of Sd assume de is equal to d, which is 3 feet:

This is close enough to the previous value that no further iteration is necessary. Using the design drainage rate method,
this is the spacing recommended for drainage alone. To determine the spacing for sub irrigation requires one additional
step.
Step 9 - Determine the fixed percentage of the design drainage rate. Since good surface drainage was provided, the fixed
percentage is 0.63.
Ss = 0.63

Sd = 0.63 x 112 = 72.9 ft

Using this method, the design spacing for sub irrigation is 72.9 feet. This compares favorably with the design spacing of
80 feet actually determined for this problem using DRAINMOD. For comparison, the estimated spacing as determined by
each shortcut method is shown in the table.

The individual components necessary to make up a complete system vary, depending on the particular option being
considered. An example calculation is described for each component. Total annual costs are normally divided into two
categories: fixed costs and variable costs. Fixed costs include depreciation, interest, property taxes, and insurance. Insurance
would be recommended on components subject to damage or theft. Most components of a subsurface drainage or sub
irrigation system are underground. Therefore, it is probably unnecessary to protect these components with insurance; so,
insurance was not considered in this example.
Also, property tax values vary from county to county, are generally small compared to the other component costs, and
were neglected. However, when the tax rate is known for a given location, it could be considered in the economic evaluation.
Depreciation and interest costs can be determined together by using an amortizing factor for the specific situation. The
amortization factor considers the expected life of the component and the interest rate. Once these are known, the factor can
be determined from amortization tables. In this example, the interest rate was assumed to be 12 percent and a design life of
either 15, 20, or 30 years was used, depending on the particular component. Amortization factors were 0.14682 for 15 years;
0.13388 for 20 years; and 0.12414 for 30 years. Most economic textbooks contain a table of amortization factors for a wide
range of interest rates and design lives. Your local banker or financial planner/accountant could also provide these values.
The amortized cost that must be recovered annually is then determined as:
Annual amortized cost = (initial cost) (amortization factor)
Variable costs include any costs that vary according to how much the equipment is used. These costs include repair and
maintenance, fuel, and labor. It is customary to estimate repair and maintenance costs as either a fixed percentage of the
initial investment for such components as tubing, pumps and motors; a fixed rate or percentage per hour of use for each
component, such as an internal combustion engine; and as a fixed rate per year, for a land graded surface drainage system.
Fuel and labor costs should be estimated based on the anticipated usage. The criteria used to determine the variable costs in
the example are summarized in the figures.
Drainage tubing costs are determined by first determining the length of tubing required for a given spacing. For a
spacing of 60 feet:

Tubing cost can be amortized over 30 years. Thus, the annual amortized costs would be:

The operating costs (repair and maintenance) for drain tubing are estimated as 2 percent of the annual amortized costs.
Thus, for the 60-foot spacing:
Operating costs = 0.02x $54.08 = $1.08 / ac

The expected life of a control structure is about 20 years.

Annual amortized costs $4950 x 0.13388 = 4 662.71
This value represents the control structure costs for the entire 100 acre field. Per acre annual cost would be:

The surface elevations in the example field vary by 2.5 feet. To provide adequate water table control in this field, assume
three control structures are needed.

The operating costs for the control structure are so small that they are neglected throughout the remainder of this
example. This situation normally occurs on large, flat fields. When fields are small, however, repair and maintenance costs
for the control structures should be considered.
The expected life of a deep well is about 30 years, and the life of the pump and electric power unit is about 20 years.
Well = $15,000 0.12414 = $1,862.10
Annual amortized cost: Pump and power unit = $7,000 0.13388 = $937.16
Total annual water supply = $2,799.26
This is the cost for the entire 100 acres. The acre cost is:

$2799.26
! $27.99 / ac
100acres
Normally, no operating costs are associated with the water source. Repair, maintenance, and fuel costs are considered
for the pump and power unit. Using the pump/power unit for the sub irrigation system, the repair and maintenance costs
would be estimated as 1 percent of the initial cost. Thus:
Repair and maintenance = $7,000 0.01 = $70 /year
Since this is the cost for the entire 100 acres, the acre cost is:

70
! $0.70 / ac
100
Fuel costs vary depending on the amount of water that must be applied, the friction loss in the system, and the operating
pressure of the system. For the example area, average irrigation volumes range from 6 to 8 acre-inches per year. This
example uses 7 inches per year. Sub irrigation may only be about 75 percent efficient because of the water loss by seepage to
nonirrigated areas. Thus, the total amount of water that must be pumped to provide 7 acre inches of usable water is:

7
! 9.33 ac $ in / year
0.75
To pump 9.33 acre-inches of usable water on 100 acres with a 700-gpm capacity pump requires 603.4 hours per year.
The power required to pump the water can be determined by:

hp !

flow " total dynamic head

3960 " pump efficiency " motor efficieny

Assume that the sub irrigation water must be lifted 80 feet in the well and is discharged into an open ditch with 0
discharge pressure. For a pump efficiency of 75 percent and an electric motor efficiency of 90 percent, the power required
for sub irrigation is:

hp !

700 " 80
! 21.0 hp
3960 " 0.75 " 0.90

The energy costs required to provide this power is then:

21.0 x 1 x 0.07 = $1.47 / hr
As previously determined, 603.4 hours would be required to provide the irrigation water for the entire 100 acres, thus
the pumping cost per ace is:

Two levels of land grading were considered in this example. The first level assumes that only the potholes are eliminated
using the farmers land plane at an estimated cost of $75 per acre. This would be equivalent to providing poor to fair
surface drainage. For the second case, a laser control land leveler is used at an estimated cost of $125 per acre. This would
be equivalent to providing fair to good surface drainage. Land grading costs are normally amortized over 20 years, thus:
Annual amortized cost = $75/ac .13388 = $10.04/ac

Operating costs for surface drainage generally include routine maintenance of the outlet ditches (moving and clean out),
construction of hoe drains, and periodic smoothing of the field as it becomes uneven because of tillage. For an extensive 025
surface drainage system (good surface drainage), maintenance costs average about $8 per acre per year. These maintenance

costs are closely correlated to the intensity of the surface drainage provided. As the cost of establishing the surface drainage
increases, the cost of maintaining the same level of surface drainage also increases. For the purpose of comparing alternatives,
it is reasonable to assume that maintenance costs for a surface drainage system costing $125 per acre are about $8 per acre
per year, and adjusts this value linearly as the initial cost of the system varies from $125 per acre. Therefore, the operating
costs for the fair surface drainage system (initial costs of $75/ac) are assumed to be $4.80 per acre per year. Total system
costs include fixed costs plus variable costs. Taking the sub irrigation system with fair surface drainage, a drain spacing of
60 feet, and the deep well water supply as an example, the total annual system costs would be:
Fixed costs: Tubing @ 60 ft $54.08
Landing grading (fair) 10.04
Control structure 6.63
Water supply (well) 27.99
Total annual fixed costs $98.74
Variable costs: Repair and maintenance
Tubing $1.08
Land grading 4.80
Control structure neglected water supply .70
Fuel (electric motor & pump) $8.85
Labor $2.30
Total variable costs $17.73
Total annual system cost (fixed costs + variable costs): $116.47
Thus, the annual amortized cost for this one system design with a drain spacing of 60 feet is $116.47.
To compare the profit potential of several drain spacings, water table control settings, or management strategies, a
DRAINMOD simulation must be ran for each case to be considered, and then compute the cost. The optimum system
design would then be determined by selecting the alternatives that provide the optimum profit. An example of this process
is shown in the figure. This table compares profit with sub irrigation for several drain spacings, levels of surface drainage,
and water supplies. In this example, maximum profit for sub irrigation occurs at a spacing of 50 feet for both fair and good
surface drainage. The cost of the improved surface drainage cannot be recovered on this example site when good subsurface
drainage is provided. As the level of subsurface drainage decreases, surface drainage becomes more important. However,
proper modeling of irregular land surfaces would require simulations on the higher land elevations and low ponding areas
to properly reflect surface storage, depth to water table, and yield variations within the field. This was not done because it
was not found to be critical to the drain spacing. The additional costs of the well water supply, as compared to a surface
supply, are also reflected in this example.

First balance the decomposition reaction (which is an algebra exercise):
As
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O
This is, for every mole of glucose decomposed, 6 mol of oxygen are required. This gives us a constant to use change moles

The excess BOD and SS are, respectively,

(1530 - 300) mg/L 2000 m3 1000 L/m3 10-6 kg/mg = 2460 kg excess SS.
The daily bill is thus
(2000 m3) ($0.20/m3) + (460 kgBOD) ($0.50/kgBOD) + (2460 kgSS) ($1.00/kgSS) = $3090.00.
48. A chemical waste at an initial SS concentration of l000 mg/L and flow rate of 200 m3/h is to be settled in a tank,
H = 1.2 m deep, W = 10 m wide, and L = 31.4 m long. The results of a laboratory test are shown in the figure. Calculate
the fraction of solids removed the overflow rate, and the velocity of the critical particle.

The surface area of the tank is

A = WL = (31.4) (10) = 314m2
Q/A = 200/314 = 0.614m3 / h-m2
The critical velocity is thus v0 = 0.614m3 / h-m2. However, the waste in this instance undergoes flocculent settling
rather than settling at the critical velocity. The hydraulic retention time is

To determine the Hortons constant by drawing a semi-log plot of t vs. (f fc):

The Hortons equation is
f = fc + (f0 fc) ekt
log (f fc) = log (f0 fc) kt log e
Solving for t,

t!

logK- f 0 $ f c .
k KlogKe

logK- f $ f c .
k KlogKe

Which is in the form of a straight line y = mx + c in which y = t, x = log (f fc), m = -1/k log e.
Hence, from a plot of t vs. (f fc) on a semi-log paper (t to linear scale), the constants in the Hortons equation can be
determined.
From the given data, fc = 1.2 cm/hr and the values of (f fc) for different time intervals from the beginning are: 2.7, 2.2,
1.9, 1.5, 1.3, 1.1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.46, 0.32, 0.22, 0.16, 0.12, 0.05, 0.04, 0.02, 0.0 cm/hr, respectively; (note: 3.9 1.2 = 2.7 cm/ hr
and like that for other readings).
These values are plotted against time on a semi-log paper as shown in the figure.

From the figure, m = 0.1933 = 1/k log e

Also from the graph, when t = 0,

f fc = 3.3 = f0 fc, (since f = f0 when t = 0)
f0 = 3.3 + 1.2 = 4.5 cm/hr
Hence, the Hortons equation is of the form

65. The 3-hr unit hydrograph ordinates for a basin are given below. There was a storm, which commenced on July
15 at 16.00 hr and continued up to 22.00 hr, which was followed by another storm on July 16 at 4.00 hr which lasted
up to 7.00 hr. It was noted from the mass curves of self-recording rain gauge that the amount of rainfall on July 15
was 5.75 cm from 16.00 to 19.00 hr and 3.75 cm from 19.00 to 22.00 hr, and on July 16, 4.45 cm from 4.00 to 7.00 hr.
Assuming an average loss of 0.25 cm/hr and 0.15 cm/hr for the two storms, respectively, and a constant base flow of
10 cumec, determine the stream flow hydrograph and state the time of occurrence of peak flood.

Since the duration of the UG is 3 hr, the 6-hr storm (16.00 to 22.00 hr) can be considered as 2-unit storm producing a
net gain of 5.75 0.25 3 = 5 cm in the first 3-hr period and a net gain of 3.75 0.25 3 = 3 cm in the next 3-hr period.
The unit hydrograph ordinates are multiplied by the net rain of each period lagged by 3 hr. Similarly, another unit storm
lagged by 12 hr (4.00 to 7.00 hr next day) produces a net gain of 4.45 0.15 3 = 4 cm which is multiplied by the UGO
and written in col (5) (lagged by 12 hr from the beginning), the table. The rainfall excesses due to the three storms are
added up to get the total direct surface discharge ordinates. T;o this, the base flow ordinates (BFO = 10 cumec, constant)
are added to get the total discharge ordinates (stream flow).
The flood hydrograph due to the 3 unit storms on the basin is obtained by plotting col (8) vs. col. (1).

(b) Determine the mean monthly flow that can be expected and the average power that can develop.
(c) Indicate the effect of storage on the flow duration curve obtained.
(d) What would be the trend of the curve if the mean weekly flow data are used instead of monthly flows?
The mean monthly flow ranges are arranged in the ascending order as shown in the table. The number of times that
each mean monthly flow range (class interval, C.I.) has been equaled or exceeded (m) is worked out as cumulative number
of occurrences starting from the bottom of the column of number of occurrences, since the C.I. of the monthly flows, is
arranged in the ascending order of magnitude. It should be noted that the flow values are arranged in the ascending order
of magnitude in the flow duration analysis, since the minimum continuous flow that can be expected almost throughout
the year (i.e., for a major percent of time) is required particularly in drought duration and power duration studies, while
in flood flow analysis the CI may be arranged in the descending order of magnitude and m is worked out from the top
as cumulative number of occurrences since the high flows are of interest. The percent of time that each CI is equaled or
exceeded is worked out as the percent of the total number of occurrences (m) of the particular CI out of the 120 = (10 yr

Flow values, i.e., = (m/n) 100. The monthly power developed in megawatts,

Where Q is the lower value of the CI Thus, for each value of Q, P can be calculated.
(i) The flow duration curve is obtained by plotting Q vs. percent of time, (Q = lower value of the CI).
(ii) The power duration curve is obtained by plotting P vs. percent of time.
(b) The mean monthly flow that can be expected is the flow that is available for 50% of the time i.e., 357.5 cumec from
the flow duration curve drawn. The average power that can be developed i.e., from the flow available for 50% of the time, is
167 MW, from the power duration curve drawn.
(c) The effect of storage is to raise the flow duration curve on the dry weather portion. And lower it on the high flow
portion and thus tends to equalize the flow at different times of the year, as indicated in the figure.
(d) If the mean weekly flow data are used instead of the monthly flow data, the flow duration curve lies below the curve
obtained from monthly flows for about 75% of the time towards the drier part of the year and above it for the rest of the
year as indicated in the figure.

OMICS Group eBooks

In fact the flow duration curve obtained from daily flow data gives the details more accurately (particularly near the
ends) than the curves obtained from weekly or monthly flow data but the latter provide smooth curves because of their
averaged out values. What duration is to be used depends upon the purpose for which the flow duration curve is intended.

77. The runoff data for a river during a lean year along with the probable demands are given below. Can
demands be met with the available river flow? If so, how?

(a) Evaporation losses and the prior water rights of the downstream user are not given and hence not considered. The
computation is made in the table. Since the cumulative surplus is more than the cumulative deficit the demands can be met
with the available river flows, by constructing a reservoir with minimum storage capacity of 352 Mm3, which is also the 045

maximum departure of the mass curves (from the beginning of the severe dry period) of inflow and demand.

In the bar graph, the monthly inflow and demand are shown by full line and dashed line, respectively. The area of
maximum deficit (i.e., demand over surplus) is the storage capacity required and is equal to 332 Mm3.

The shaded area represents the surplus over the uniform demand (during the months of January, and July to October),
which is the storage capacity required to meet the uniform demand, and is equal to (135) + (120 + 185 + 112 + 87) 72.5

79. A vertical lock gate is 4 m wide and separates 20C water levels of 2 m and 3 m, respectively. Find the moment
about the bottom required to keep the gate stationary.

OMICS Group eBooks

On the side of the gate where the water measures 3 m, F1 acts and has an hCG of 1.5 m; on the opposite side, F2 acts with
an hCG of 1m.

047

F1 = hCG1A1 = (9790) (1.5) (3) (4) = 176,220 N

F2 = hCG2A2 = (9790) (1.0) (2) (4) = 78,320 N
yCP1 = [1/12) (4) (3)3 sin 90] / [(1.5) (4) (3)] 0.5 m; so F1 acts at 1.5 0.5 = 1.0 m above B
yCP2 = [(1/12) (4) (2)3 sin 90] / [(1) (4) (2)] = 0.333 m; F2 acts at 1.0 0.33 = 0.67 m above B
Taking moments about points B (see the figure),
MB = (176,220 N) (1.0 m) (78,320 N) (0.667 m) = 124,000 N m; Mbottom = 124 kNm
80. The pressure in the air gap is 8000 Pa gage. The tank is cylindrical. Calculate the net hydrostatic force (a) on the
bottom of the tank; (b) on the cylindrical sidewall CC; and (c) on the annular plane panel BB.

(a) The bottom force is simply equal to bottom pressure times bottom area:
Pbottom = Pair + water g|z| = 8000 Pa + (9790 N / m3) (0.25 + 0.12m) = 11622 Pa - gage
FCC = pCCACC = (10448 Pa) ( /4) [(0.36 m)2 (0.16 m)2 ] = 853 N
81. Determine (a) the total hydrostatic force on curved surface AB in the figure and (b) its line of action. Neglect
atmospheric pressure and assume unit width into the paper.

The horizontal force is

Avert = (9790 N/m3) (0.5 m) (11 m2) = 4895 N at 0.667 m below B.

FH = hCG

For the cubic-shaped surface AB, the weight of water above is computed by integration:

The line of action (water centroid) of the vertical force also has to be found by integration:

The vertical force of 7343 N thus acts at 0.4 m to the right of point A, or 0.6 m to the left of B, as shown in the sketch
above. The resultant hydrostatic force then is
Ftotal = [(4895)2 + (7343)2]1/2 = 8825 N acting at 56.31 down and to the right.
This result is shown in the sketch at above right. The line of action of F strikes the vertical above point A at 0.933 m above
A, or 0.067 m below the water surface.
82. In the figure all pipes are 8-cm-diameter cast iron. Determine the flow rate from reservoir (1) if valve C is (a)
closed; and (b) open, with Kvalve = 0.5.

For water at 20C, take = 998 kg/m3 and = 0.001 kg/m.s. For cast iron, 0.26 mm, hence /d = 0.26/80 0.00325
for all three pipes. Note p1 = p2, V1 = V2 0. These are long pipes, but we might wish to account for minor losses anyway:
Sharp entrance at A: K1 0.5; line junction from A to B: K2 0.9
Branch junction from A to C: K3 1.3; two submerged exits: KB = KC 1.0
If valve C is closed, we have a straight series path through A and B, with the same flow rate Q, velocity V, and friction
factor f in each. The energy equation yields

If valve C is open, we have parallel flow through B and C, with QA = QB + QC and, with d constant, VA = VB + VC. The

Plus the additional relation VA = VB + VC. Guess f ffully rough 0.027 for all three pipes and begin. The initial numbers

If f 0.027, solve (laboriously) VA 3.48 m/s, VB 1.91 m/s, VC 1.57 m/s

87. Uniform water flow in a wide brick channel of slope 0.02 moves over a 10-cm bump as in the figure. A slight

97. In the five-pipe horizontal network of the figure, assume that all pipes have a friction factor f = 0.025. For the
given inlet and exit flow rate of 2 ft3/s of water at 20C, determine the flow rate and direction in all pipes. If pA = 120 lbf/
in2 gage, determine the pressures at points B, C, and D.

056

For water at 20C, take =1.94 slug/ft3 and = 2.09E5 slug / ft.s. Each pipe has a head loss which is known except for
the square of the flow rate:

There are two triangular closed loops, and the total head loss must be zero for each. Using the flow directions assumed
on the figure above, we have

Loop B-C-D: 13.26Q2BC +19.12Q2CD 19.33Q2BD = 0
And there are three independent junctions which have zero net flow rates:
Junction A: QAB + QAC = 2.0; B: QAB = QBC +QBD; C: QAC +QBC = QCD
These are five algebraic equations to be solved for the five flow rates. The answers are:
QAB = 1.19, QAC = 0.81, QBC = 0.99, QCD = 1.80, QBD = 0.20 ft3/s
The pressures follow by starting at a (120 psi) and subtracting off the friction losses:
