CIV E 444 - APPLIED HYDRAULICS
SPRING 2016
LAB No. 7


  1. What power (in HP and KW) can be realized (taking losses into account) with a hydroelectric development where Q = 70 cfs and the fall is ht = 45 ft?

  2. Given a concrete pipe with D = 0.6 m, Q = 150 L/s; T = 20oC; find the head loss hf for L = 1000 m.

  3. Given a concrete pipe pipe with hf/L = 0.00043, Q = 150 L/s; T = 20oC; find the diameter (m).

  4. Given pipe diameter 2 ft, and energy slope 0.0025. What is the discharge using the Hazen-Williams formula? Use the nomograph (Fig. 5-6) and the onlinecalculator.
