Water flows through pipe A whose diameter is 30 cm and into parallel pipes 1, 2 and 3 and out through Pipe B (diameter= 30 cm). The properties of the pipe are as follows: for pipe 1, L= 300 m, diameter = 10 cm f= 0.020; for pipe 2 L= 240 m diameter= 15 cm f= 0.018 and for pipe 3, L= 600 deiameter= 20 cm f= 0.017. The upstram junction has an Elev. 90 m with pressure of 205 kPa; the downstream junction is at Elev. 30 m. If the average velocity in pipe A is 3.0 m/s, find the pressure at downstream junction B.   CHOICES: a.496 kPa b.256 kPa c.136 kPa d.376 kPa

Question
Water flows through pipe A whose diameter is 30 cm and into parallel pipes 1, 2 and 3 and out through Pipe B (diameter= 30 cm). The properties of the pipe are as follows: for pipe 1, L= 300 m, diameter = 10 cm f= 0.020; for pipe 2 L= 240 m diameter= 15 cm f= 0.018 and for pipe 3, L= 600 deiameter= 20 cm f= 0.017. The upstram junction has an Elev. 90 m with pressure of 205 kPa; the downstream junction is at Elev. 30 m. If the average velocity in pipe A is 3.0 m/s, find the pressure at downstream junction B.
