Question: b ) Pipe ( A ) is filling the water tank, while pipe ( B ) is emptying the tank at

b) Pipe \( A \) is filling the water tank, while pipe \( B \) is emptying the tank at the ground level. The density and viscosity of water is assumed to be \(1000\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\) and \(1.000510^{-3}\mathrm{~Pa}/\mathrm{s}\).
i. Calculate the flow rate and water velocity in pipe A to keep the water level steady (not changing). Neglect the friction losses.
ii. Using the discharge flow rate and the Poiseuille equation estimate the pressure loss due to the flow in a 25 m length of Pipe B, verify that the Poiseuille equation can be used to calculate pressure loss of this flow.
iii. Comment on the validity of neglecting pressure loss due to the flow in Pipe B in section (i). Justify your answer.
b ) Pipe \ ( A \ ) is filling the water tank,
