P.15.5 Water (sp. gr = 1) is pumped through a heat exchanger and control valve. At normal conditions, the flow rate is 100 gallons per min., the pressure drop across the control valve is 3 psi while the total pressure drop is 20 psi, and f(x) for the valve is 0.4. Determine the flow rate and the pressure drop across the control valve at the maximum condition.
