A) Incoming Section

Pipe line Pipe Dia. Gradient Velocity Flow Q

Incoming Sewer 0.61 1 in 600 1.06 m/s 0.3096

Total Incoming 0.3096

B) Outgoing Section

Pipe line Pipe Dia. Gradient Velocity Flow Q

300mm dia. Sewer 0.3 1 in 300 0.93 m/s 0.0660

400mm dia. Sewer 0.4 1 in 400 0.98 m/s 0.1231

450mm dia. Sewer 0.45 1 in 450 1.00 m/s 0.1588

Total Outgoing 0.3479

2. Head Loss Computation


Total Head loss with 10% safety factor

)

Where

Inlet loss

pipe friction loss

pipe length

friction slope from Mannings Equation

pipe bend losses

bend coefficient (figure 8.1)

Outlet loss

From table A maximum total head loss with 10% safety factor is 0.092m which is

less than the 0.1m head available between MH 41 and 42.
