1.A 10-cm diameter 2000 m long pipeline connects two reservoirs open to the atmosphere. What is the discharge in the pipeline if the water surface elevation difference of the reservoirs is 50 m? Assume a smooth pipe and ? = 1.2 x 10-6 m2/s. Neglect minor losses.
2.An analysis of the record of annual peak flows for a creek indicates that a discharge of 5430 cfs has an annual exceedance probability of 0.4.
a. In how many of the next 100 years would you expect the maximum discharge to exceed 5430 cfs?
b. What is the average period of time between independent high-flow events with discharges of 5430 cfs or greater?
