surface of the pipe needs to be considered . In general it is one of the four quantities d, i, v or Q which requires to be determined . For since the loss of head h is given by the relation h=il, this need not be separately considered . There are then three equa- tions (see eq . 4, § 72, and 9a, § 76) for the solution of such problems as arise:- ~'=a(I+I/I2d); where a =0.005 for new and =0.01 for incrusted pipes .

By combining equations (I) and (2), v is obtained directly:- v=v (gdi/2i-) =v (g/2a)) {di/{1+I/12d} ] .

Problem 2 . Given the diameter of a pipe and the velocity of flow, to find the virtual slope and discharge . The discharge is given by (3); the proper value of i- by (I); and the virtual slope by (2) . This also presents no special difficulty . Problem 3 . Given the diameter of the pipe and the discharge, to find the virtual slope and velocity . Find v from (3); from (I); lastly i from (2) . If we combine (I) and (2) we get =(v2/2g) (4/d) =2a{I+I/12d}v2/gd; (5) and, taking the mean values of i' for pipes from i to 4 ft. diameter, given above, the approximate formulae are i=0.0003268 v2/d for new pipes ] (5a) =0.0006536 v2/d for incrusted pipes Problem 4 . Given the virtual slope and the velocity, to find the diameter of the pipe and the discharge . The diameter is obtained from equations (2) and (I), which give the quadratic expression d2-d(2 av2/gi) - av2/6gi = o . d =av2/gi+v { (av2/g2) (av2/gi+I/6)} . (6) .

direct solution . From equations (2) and (3) we get- d' =32'Q2/g7r2i . (7) If now the value of in (I) is introduced, the equation becomes very cumbrous . Various approximate methods of meeting the difficulty may be used . (a) Taking the mean values of given above for pipes of i to 4 ft. diameter we get d=V (32i'/g7r2)J (Q2/i) (8) =0.2216;1 (Q2/i) for new pipes =0•2541V (Q2/i) for incrusted pipes; equations which are interesting as showing that when the value of ° is doubled the diameter of pipe for a given discharge is only in-creased by 13 % .
