Sol. (a) Two pipe systems are said to be
equivalent when head lass and discharge are
same in two systems. Eq lent pipe is a
method of reducing a combination of pipes
into a simple pipe system for easier analysis of
a pipe network, such as a water distribution
system. An equivalent pipe is an imaginary
pipe in which the head loss and discharge are
equivalent to the head loss and discharge for
the real pipe system. There are three main
properties of a pipe: diameter, length, and
roughness. As the coefficient of roughness, C,
decreases the roughness of the pipe
decreases. For example, a new smooth pipe
has a roughness factor of C = 140, while a
rough pipe is usually at C = 100. To determine
an equivalent pipe, you must assume any of
the above two properties. Therefore, for a
system of pipes with different diameters,
lengths, and roughness factors, you could
assume a specific roughness factor (most
commonly C = 100) and diameter (most
commonly D = 8"). The most common formula
for computing equivalent pipe is the Hazen-
Williams formula.
