FLOW THROGH COMPOUND PIPES
Sometimes, discharge from one reservoir to another takes place through a pipe line
...
This can be in form of
 Compound pipes
 Pipes in parallel
 Branched pipes
 Siphon pipes
Discharge through a compound (pipes in series)
The pipes have different lengths and diameters being connected together
...
The new pipe of uniform diameter is called equivalent pipe and its diameter
is called equivalent diameter of the pipe
...
K
...
Such an arrangement is known as pipes in parallel as shown below

As the pipes are parallel, the loss of head for the pipes will be same and all pipes will discharge
water independently
...
That is, if two pipes are parallel
And QT = Q1 + Q2
Discharge through branched pipes from one reservoir to another
Sometimes a pipe is laid partly with an existing pipe to increase the discharge in the lower tank
as shown below

But in the case ‘b’ the sum of discharge through
the pipes 1 and 2 (Q1 + Q2) is equal to discharge through the pipe 3 (i

Q3)

In
such cases, the discharge through pipe 1 (i
...
Q1) is equal to the sum of discharge through the
pipes 2 and 3 (i
...
Q2 + Q3)
In such cases discharges may be determined by discharge equations through pipes 1 and 2 as
well as 1 and 3
...
A nozzle generally
used to have a high velocity of water as it connects pressure head into kinetic head at the outlet
...

Velocity of water through a nozzle

From geometry of the pipeline;
A=

a=

And
Q = AV1 and q = av2
Also
Q = q,
Then
AV1= av2 or V1 =
Loss at the outlet =
Total head loss H = loss due to friction + exit loss\

Uses of nozzles: Water hammer
Water, while flowing in a pipe, posses some momentum on account of its motion
...
The knocking effect of the water behaves like the hammering process – thus water
