Water (p = 1000 kg/m$^3$ and \(\mu = 0.00089 \text{ Pa.s}\)) in pressurized tank A is to be distributed to tanks C and D using a pipe system shown below. The elevations of A, C, and D are ZA = 500, 300, and 100 meters, respectively. The diameter of pipe 1 is 20 cm, while the
diameter of pipe 2 and 3 is 15 cm. The pipe lengths can be seen in the diagram below. The pipes are all smooth and the minor losses are negligible.
While the tanks C and D are exposed to atmospheric pressure, the tank A is pressurized up to PA = 1.06 kPa gage
Determine the flowrates in tank C and D. Does the distribution make sense? Explain in your work document.
