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
fields. Prerequisite to study of the book and to solve the problems is each appropriate book
about water engineering; however, the author recommends studying the references to better
understanding of the problems and presented solutions. It is an honor for the author to receive
any review and suggestion for improvement of book quality.

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

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.

AC = AB + BC = 0.096 + 0.60 = 0.7 m

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
dc = 0.067 0.6 x 0.04 = 0.043

TBD = Ts + BC = 2.15 + 0.6 = 2.75 m

Step 5: Using a spread along BD equal to 2.75 m and develop a weighted slope for Sx2 and Sx3.
0.6 m at Sx2 (0.04) and 2.15 m at Sx3 (0.02):

This (2.57 m) is lower than the assumed value of 2.75 m. Therefore, assume TBD = 2.50 m and repeat Step 5 and Step 6.

Interception by the curb-opening only will be in a transition stage between weir and orifice flow with a depth at the curb

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:

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.

37. Given: The site contains 100 acres.

The site has been farmed for several years, but is naturally poorly drained. A main outlet ditch with lateral ditches at an interval of 300 feet
was installed when the site was first prepared for field ropes. However, in its present condition, the drainage system (predominantly surface
drainage) is inadequate and is the most dominant factor limiting yields.
Several small depression areas (about 5% of the total cultivated area) have water accumulations which nearly drown the crop in many years.
Even though this site is poorly drained, yields are also suppressed due to drought stress in some years. Some of the major component costs
used in the economic evaluation is summarized in the figures. These values are average values as determined from manufacturers literature,
discussions with sales representatives, or actual costs as quoted by farmers who have installed systems. While these values are reasonable for
the specific conditions assumed, they should be used only as a guide and where possible, exact values for the specific situation should be used
instead.

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

Drainage tubing costs are determined by first determining the length of tubing required for a given spacing. For a

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.

Operating costs (repair and maintenance) for the control structures can also be estimated as 2 percent of the annual
amortized costs.

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.

47. A community normally levies a sewer charge of 20 cents/in3. For discharges in which the BOD > 250 mg/L and
suspended solids (SS) > 300 mg/L, an additional $0.50/kg BOD and $l.00/kg SS are levied. A chicken processing plant
uses 2000 m3 water per day and discharges wastewater with BOD = 480 mg/L and SS = 1530 mg/L. What is the plants
daily wastewater disposal bill?
The excess BOD and SS are, respectively,
(480 - 250) mg/L 2000 in.3 1000 L/m3 10-6 kg/mg = 460 kg excess BOD
(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.

A pilot plant showed the kinetic constants to be Y = 0.5 kg SS/kg BOD, Ks = 200 mg/L, = 2/day. We need to design
a treatment system that will produce an effluent BOD of 30mg/L (90% removal). Determine (a) the volume of the
aeration tank, (b) the MLSS, and (c) the sludge age. How much sludge will be wasted daily?
The MLSS concentration is usually limited by the ability to keep an aeration tank mixed and to transfer sufficient oxygen
to the microorganisms. Assume in this case that X = 4000 mg/L the hydraulic retention is then obtained by:

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,

log ( f 0 f c )
k log e

log ( f f c )
k log e

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

k=

0.1933 0.434

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
f = 1.2 + (4.5 1.2) e12t

infiltration capacity curve prepared had the initial infiltration capacity of 1 cm/hr and attained a constant value of 0.3
cm/hr after 15 hours of rainfall with a Hortons constant k = 5 hr1. An IMD pan installed in the catchment indicated
a decrease of 0.6 cm in the water level (after allowing for rainfall) during 24 hours of its operation. Other losses were
found to be negligible. Determine the runoff from the catchment. Assume a pan coefficient of 0.7.

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

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).

*O1 assumed equal to I1 = 42 cumec

O2 = 0.02 45 + 0.31 42 + 0.67 42 = 42.06 cumec
This value of O2 becomes O1 for the next routing period and the process is repeated till the flood is completely routed
through the reach. The resulting outflow hydrograph is plotted as shown in the figure.

OMICS Group eBooks

The reduction in peak is 108 cumec and the lag time is 36 hr, i.e., the peak outflow is after 84 hr (= 3.5 days) after the
commencement of the flood through the reach.

(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

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.

indicated a mean daily temperature of 8C on a certain day. Assuming a temperature decrease of 1C per 200 m increase
in elevation and a degree-day factor of 3 mm/degree-day, compute the snowmelt runoff for the day. An area elevation
curve for the snowpack is shown in the figure.

Freezing occurs at higher altitudes when the temperature falls to 0C.

Freezing elevation = 1800 + (8 0) 200 = 3400 m. The area between the snow line elevation of 1400 m and the freezing

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

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

FH = hCG

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

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

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

NOTE: The tubing is smooth, with an inner diameter of 5 mm and a total length of 29.8 m. The water is at room
temperature and pressure, and minor losses are neglected.

051

For water, take = 998 kg/m3 and = 0.001 kg/ms. NOTE: The tubing is so small that the flow is laminar, even at the
highest pump flow rate:

One can plot the two relations, as at right, or use EES with a look-up table to get the final result for flow rate and head:
Hp = 1.00 m
Q = 1.0E6 m3 /s
The EES print-out gives the results Red = 255, H = 0.999 m, Q = 1.004E6 m3/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
depression in the water surface results. If the minimum depth over the bump is 50 cm, compute (a) the velocity over
the bump; and (b) the flow rate per meter of width.

For brickwork, take n 0.015. Since the water level decreases over the bump, the upstream flow is subcritical. For a wide

The resulting flood raised temporary havoc in the nearby village of Peace Dale. The pond is 17 acres in area and 15 ft

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

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
