Explanation / Answer

1.

Hydraulic head at A is = PA / (rho*g) + hA

= 290*103 / (998*9.81) + 0

= 29.621 m

Part-B

By continuity equation,

A1*V1 = A2*V2

(pi/4 * D12) * V1 = (pi/4 * D22) * V2

1002 * 8.2 = 1502 * Vc

Vc = 3.644 m/s

Kinematic head at C is Vc2 / (2g) = 3.6442 / (2*9.81)

= 0.67696 m

Kinematic head at A is Va2 / (2g) = 8.22 / (2*9.81)

= 3.42711 m

Total head = 29.621 + 3.42711 = 33.048 m

Hydraulic head at C is = Total head - Kinetic head at C

= 33.048 - 0.67696

= 32.3711 m
