Water is flowing through a 0.05 m diameter pipe from a large reservoir, as shown. The water level in the reservoir is 25 m above the horizontal pipe segment at the exit from the tank. The pipe initially is bent down and later up, emerging above the ground level. The loss coefficient in the three elbows is K = 0.25, and we can assume a Darcy friction coefficient of f = 0.02. Also for water rho = 1000 kg/m3, μ = 10-3 N s/m2 .
(a) Calculate the average discharge velocity and the Reynolds number in the pipe, and (b) Calculate the height h of the water fountain above the end of the pipe.
