Question: A pipe system contains two brunches ( A and B ) in parallel, as shown in the figure below. Branch A contains a partially closed

A pipe system contains two brunches ( A and B) in parallel, as shown in the figure below. Branch A contains a partially closed valve with a loss coefficient of 0.2. Branch B has a pipe cross-sectional area that is twice that of branch A and contains a partially closed valve with a loss coefficient of 10. For this system, the head losses through the partially elosed valves are much large than the other minor losses (elbows, junction, ete.) and the pipe friction losses. If the flow in pipe B is 0.566ft3s, what is the flow in pipe A?
A pipe system contains two brunches ( A and B )
