2. Water at 21°C enters a pump as a saturated liquid with a volumetric flow rate of 0.3 m³/min through an inlet pipe with a 15 cm diameter. The pump is at steady state and supplies liquid water to two exit pipes having diameters of 6 and 9 cm. The mass flow rate in the 6 cm pipe is 1.5 lbm/s, and the temperature of the water exiting each pipe is 23°C. Determine the water velocity in each of the exit pipes (m/s).

m/min through an inlet pipe with a 15 cm diameter. The pump is at steady state and
supplies liquid water to two exit pipes having diameters of 6 and 9 cm. The mass flow
rate in the 6 cm pipe is 1.5 lbm/s, and the temperature of the water exiting each pipe is
23°C. Determine the water velocity in each of the exit pipes (m/s).
