In the figure shown, water (ν = 1 x 10-6 m2/s) flows at a rate of 5 L/s on a system of pipes. There are 40 m of 50-mm diameter pipe, 22 m of 150-mm diameter pipe, and 45 m of 75-mm diameter pipe, all cast-iron. There are two 90o elbows and an open globe valve. If the exit elevation is zero, determine the following: a) friction loss on each pipe b) total minor loss from the surface of the reservoir to the exit c) head extracted by the turbine d) mechanical power extracted by the turbine
