CIV E 444 - APPLIED HYDRAULICS
FALL 2009
HOMEWORK No. 6


  1. What power can be effectively realized (considering losses) with a hydroelectric development where Q = 1.5 m3s and the fall is ht = 17 m?

  2. What is the head loss per unit length in an oil pipe with Q = 0.7 cfs, D = 6 in, and ν = 1.0 × 10-3 ft2/s?

  3. Given a concrete pipe with D = 0.3 m, Q = 60 L/s; T = 15oC; find the head loss hf for L = 2000 m.

  4. Given an asphalted cast iron pipe with hf/L = 0.01, D = 0.2 m, T = 20oC; find the discharge Q in L/s.
