Question: Consider the following two pipes segments: Pipe 1 : 4 5 0 - m long, 2 5 0 - mm diameter, and a friction factor

Consider the following two pipes segments:
Pipe 1: 450-m long, 250-mm diameter, and a friction factor of 0.020
Pipe 2: 300-m long, 200-mm diameter, and a friction factor of 0.025
Ignoring all local losses, determine the flow (Q1 and Q2 in m3/s) and the head loss (hL1
and hL2 in m) in both pipes if:
a) The two pipes are in series and the total head loss (from upstream to downstream)
is 25 m
b) The two pipes are in parallel and the total head loss (from upstream to
downstream) is 25 m
