Question

On a single plot, show curves that show the relationship between the pressure generated by the
pump as a function of flow rate of water at 20 °C through the three branches of the piping system
shown below (delta P on the y axis and flow rate on the x axis; the
range of the pressure should be 0 to ~1 MPa). 

Pipe inner diameter: 0.03 m
Pipe material: copper
Typical mass flow rate of interest: 0.5 kg/s
Ignore minor losses of tee's at points A and B and any features of branch 3
Consider minor losses of two 90° elbows in branch 2
