Example Problem 13.4 Pt. 1: Surface of lower reservoir
Fig. 13.40 Pt. 2: Surface of upper reservoir
System Data: SI Metric Units
Volume flow rate: Q = 0.014 m3/s Elevation at point 1 = 0 m
Pressure at point 1 = 0 kPa Elevation at point 2 = 24.4 m
Pressure at point 2 = 240 kPa If Ref. pt. is in pipe: Set v1 "= B20" OR Set v2 "= E20"
m/s
Velocity at point 1 = 0 --> Vel head at point 1 = 0 m
