Water at 30°C is transported and heated at a rate of 50 L/s for a distance of 2,000 m using an isosceles right triangular commercial steel conduit to a maximum temperature of 60°C. If the friction loss must not exceed 5 m, determine the dimensions of the conduit. For the conduit, let a = perpendicular sides and b = remaining side. Assume the wall temperature to be 50°C higher than the bulk temperature of water. Use conversion 1 m = 3.2808 ft
