Consider the piping system shown in the figure. The speed of water flowing through the 4-in diameter segment of the piping system is 3 ft/s. What is the volumetric flow rate of water in the piping system? Express the volumetric flow rate in ft3/s, gpm, and L/s. For the case of steady flow of water through the piping system, what is the speed of water in the 3-in diameter segment?
