Hot oil is pumped through a heat exchanger (see figure below) at a flow rate of 0.5 L/s. An inlet
manifold equally distributes the oil into 20 parallel, 5-mm-diameter copper tubes that are
about 1 m in length. The oil cools down as it flows through the copper tubes. Oil then exits
through an outlet manifold. The viscosity of the oil is 250 centipoise and its density is 950
kg/(m^3). Assuming uniform pressure in the manifolds and laminar flow through the tubes.
calculate the total head loss (in meters) across those 20 copper tubes.
