Question: A piping system for a pump contains a tee as shown below to permit the pressure at the outlet of the pump to be measured.

A piping system for a pump contains a tee as shown below to permit the pressure at the outlet of the pump to be measured. Assuming friction losses in the short section of pipe is negligible, determine:
a) The head loss through the tee if \(60\mathrm{~L}/\mathrm{s}\) of water flows through the system.
b) The change in pressure (from pump inlet to downstream end of tee) if the upstream pipe is a 8-in Schedule 80 pipe and the power added to the water by the pump is 3.2 KW .
A piping system for a pump contains a tee as
