Question

4. Given the parallel pipe system below, calculate a) the discharge through each branch given that all pipes are made of cast iron and the fluid flowing is water at 20 °C. b) the velocity, Reynolds number and friction factor for each branch (use Darcy- Weisbach) c) the total head loss in the system, in m. L1 = 500 m; D1 = 50 cm Q = 2.0 m3/s L2 = 200 m; D2 = 30 cm A B L3 = 300 m; D3 = 15 cm
