2. A large-capacity faucet is to be connected to a water main by 20-mm diameter copper tubing as shown in Figure below. The copper tubing has an estimated f=0.02, and local head losses are created by the corporation stop (C-stop), three bends, and the faucet itself. The faucet exit has a diameter of 12 mm. What is minimum pressure in the water main required to obtain a desired flow rate of 50 L/min when the faucet is fully open? fig1.Faucet connected to water main.
