Question: A WVER type nuclear plant layout is given in previous figure. The coolant is pressurized after the pump ( node 1 ) and the pressure

A WVER type nuclear plant layout is given in previous figure. The coolant is pressurized after the pump (node 1) and the pressure is about 15.84 MPa . The flow rate is approximately 4400kgs at node 1. When the flow reaches to core region (node 3), it separates into 4238 channels and each channel size is given in following figure. Assuming triangular lattice, creates a flow area, the mass flow rate divides into 4238 channels and connects at node 4. Between node 6 and node 7, there is 11000 tubes relate to the diameter of 13 mm . Assuming the tubes are smooth, please calculate pressure at given nodes and calculate total pressure drop between node 1 to 8(assume 1 and 8 are in same height)
