3) In the branched pipe system below, water is flowing at 0.0142 m³/s in a lew, clean DN 100 Schedule 40 pipe (ID = 0.1023 m) at A. The flow splits into two %3D new, clean DN 50 Schedule 40 pipes (ID = 0.0525 m; A = 0.00216 m³) as shown and then rejoins at B. Call the upper branch "a" and the lower branch "b." The friction factor in the upper branch is 0.021, and the friction factor in the lower branch is 0.0215. Calculate the flow rate in each of the branches. Include the effect of all minor losses in the lower branch. The total length of the pipe in the lower branch is 60 m. The elbows are standard.

Transcribed Image Text:3) In the branched pipe system below, water is flowing at 0.0142 m³/s in a
lew, clean DN 100 Schedule 40 pipe (ID = 0.1023 m) at A. The flow splits into two
%3D
new, clean DN 50 Schedule 40 pipes (ID = 0.0525 m; A = 0.00216 m³) as shown
and then rejoins at B. Call the upper branch "a" and the lower branch "b." The
friction factor in the upper branch is 0.021, and the friction factor in the lower
branch is 0.0215. Calculate the flow rate in each of the branches. Include the
effect of all minor losses in the lower branch. The total length of the pipe in the
lower branch is 60 m. The elbows are standard.
