Consider the flow section shown below where room temperature water flows from left-to- right. The section is designed such that D₂ is three times D₁. a) Determine the minimum length of L as a function of D₂ to keep the K loss coefficient under 0.06. b) If D₁ is 100mm, and the flow rate is 20GPM, calculate the total head loss and pressure drop across the section using the length from part a. Neglect major losses. c) Is the head loss higher for flow from left-to-right or right-to-left? Provide a brief, technical discussion in 100 words or less.
