Hi, I unfortunately cant see the full explanation, is there any way the writing could be condensed to show all of it on the screen?

Transcribed Image Text:Step 1: Given data and the parameters need to find out
Given: Pipe diameter, d = 5 cm = 0.05 mWater flow rate, Q=350 L/min
Step 2: 1) Calculation for the suitable layout which minimizes the losses
The average velocity of water through the pipe is, u =
