Subject : Determine size of pipe

Data
Static Head : 15 m
Demand Req : 8 MLD @ 0.09 m/s

Calculation :

a) V= Cv x(2 x g x h )^0.5 , g= 9.81 m/s2

V= 16.64 Cv = 0.97 water, velocity coefficient

b) size of pipe,

Q= AxV
A = Q = 0.006 m2
V
Dia pipe = (4 x A ) ^0.5 = 0.084 m
3.142
say, dia pipe = 0.2 m

Formula :
Vp = Cd x A x ( 2 x g x H)^0.5 where,
h= intake height
V= volume flow (m3/s)
Ao = 3.142 x d^2 Ao = Area of aperture = flow outlet intake
4 Cd = discharge coefficient,
d = 0.5 m Cv = 0.97 water, velocity coefficient
Ao = 0.196 m2 Cd=CcxCv
H = 2.5 m Cc 0.97 well rounded aperture
Vp = 1.294 m/s 0.62 sharp edge aperture

g= 9.81 m/s2, acceleration of grav

Cd = Cc x Cv
Cd = 0.9409

Q = A x Vp time, t = 8 hrs
= 0.254 m3/s
= 7.3 MLD
