You were hired to design a water supply system that will convey water from a upper reservoir to a lower reservoir at a flow rate of Q = 0.028 m3/s. The pipe line is 300 meters long, has a 15-cm diameter and smooth pipe wall (ks = 0). If the elevation of the lower reservoir is 100 meters, what is the water surface elevation in the upper reservoir? Assume the following minor losses: pipe entrance (Kent = 0.5), 2 pipe bends (Kbend = 0.19), and pipe exit (Kexit = 1.0). Viscosity of water is: 1.05 x 10-6 m2/s.
