Liquid water at 70 °F enters a pump through an inlet pipe having a diameter of 6 in. The pump operates at steady state and supplies water to two exit pipes having diameters of 3 in and 4 in. The velocity of the 3 in pipe is 1.31 ft/s. At the exit of the 4 in pipe the velocity is 0.74 ft/s. The temperature of the water in each exit is 72 deg F. Determine a) the mass flow rate in lb/s in the inlet and each of the exit pipes. b) the volumetric flow rate at the inlet in ft³/min.
