Figure Q4 shows there are two sections of pipes in the system, which are 38m long of 5 cm diameter pipe in section 1 and 45 m long of 15 cm diameter pipe in section 2. The friction factor of pipe in section 1 and 2 are 0.005 and 0.003 respectively. The entrance of the pipe is sharp and the change of section at point C is sudden. There are two 90-degree elbows and an open globe valve in the system. The fitting loss coefficient, k are 0.9 for each 90-degree elbow and 0.25 for open globe valve. If the exit elevation is zero and the flow rate of water is 0.005 m'/s. i. Name all the losses in the system with the formula involved, ii. Calculate the total losses in the system, iii. Calculate the power extracted by the turbine if the turbine is 75 percent efficient.
