Three pipes of lengths 800 m, 600 m and 300 m and of diameters 400 mm, 300 mm and 200 mm, respectively, are connected in series. The ends of the compound pipe are connected to two tanks, whose water surface levels are maintained at a difference of 15 m. Determine the rate of flow of water through the pipes if f= 0.005. What will be diameter of a single pipe length 1700 m and f = 0.005, which replaces the three pipes?
