The water level of the reservoir is 150 ft above that of


You meet with a potential client to discuss a land development project. Your client wants to know the capacity (in cfs) of the existing water supply system serving the area With a 450-ft pipeline, the current system delivers water from a reservoir to a storage tank. The tank is open to the atmosphere. The water level of the reservoir is 150 ft above that of the tank. The intake end of the pipeline is square-edged (k=0.5) and the water coes into the tank through a submerged end (k=1). You are told that the pipe is 12 in in diameter and the roughness is approximately e=0.005 ft. The average temperature in this area is 60 F. Using the Moody Diagram and the trial and error method, estimate the capacity of the existing system.
