In the branched pipe system shown, water at 10°C is flowing in a 6-in Schedule 40 pipe at A the flow splits into a 2-in and a 4-in Schedule 40 pipes as shown and then rejoins at B. The total length of pipe in 4-in branch is 60 m, and in 2-in branch is 80 m. The elbows are standard and neglect energy losses in the tees. If the pressure at A is 900 kPa and the pressure at B is 500 kPa, calculate: (a) the volume flow rate in 4-in branch (b) the volume flow rate in 2-in branch (standard elbow K=30fr, swing-type check valve K=100ft, fully open globe valve K=340ft and fully open angle valve K=150fr, g-9.81 m/s², water @ 10°C, specific weight-9.81 kN/m³, kinematic viscosity-1.3E-6 m²/s, all pipes are new) 6-in Schedule 40 PA 4-in Schedule 40 2-in Schedule 40 Fully open globe valve A Swing-type check valve Angle valve. fully open .. 6-in Schedule 40 PB 13 In the branched pipe system shown, water at 10°C is flowing in a 6-in Schedule 40 pipe at A the flow splits into a 2-in and a 4-in Schedule 40 pipes as shown and then rejoins at B.
