The discharge of the pipe system shown is 0.9 m³/s. the length of pipes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are 1000 m, 500 m, 600 m, 800 m, and 700 m, respectively. The diameters of pipes 1, 2, 3, and 5 are 90 cm, 50 cm, 40 cm, and 75 cm, respectively. The total head loss is 15 m. Assume the value of f as 0.015 for all pipes. 3 B C 2 A D 4 Pipe Length (m) Diameter (cm) 1 1000 90 2 500 50 3 600 40 4 800 5 700 75 a. Calculate the value of the flow rate in pipes 2, 3, and 4. b.
