A certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution system involves a parallel section. Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 cm, and the flow is fully turbulent. One of the branches (pipe A) is 1500 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 2500 m long. If the flow rate through pipe A is 0.4 m/s, determine the flow rate through pipe B. Assume the flow is fully rough, thus the friction factor is independent of Reynolds number. 30 cm J 0.4 m/s 1500 m A 30 cm 2500 m

Water flows through a turbine as shown in figure, where the pipeline upstream of the turbine has a 2 diameter of 1.2m and the downstream pipeline has a diameter of 1.7m. The inflow section of the upstream pipeline is 4 m above the outflow section of the downstream pipeline. When the flow through the turbine is 6 m'/s, the pressure at the inflow section is 450 kPa, the pressure at the outflow section is -30 kPa, and the head loss between these two sections is estimated as 20 m.
