Question

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

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.
