Question: Problem 1 : CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING BASE CASE:There is a flow of 1 0 0 liters per minute of water at a pressure of 5

Problem 1: CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING BASE CASE:There is a flow of 100 liters per minute of water at a pressure of 5 bar and 25\deg C that passes through a commercial steel pipe of 2 in. nominal diameter schedule 40(internal diameter 2.067 in). Consider a 30 m long pipe. Answer correctly and justifying with a clear procedure the following, with respect to the base case:
a) How much will friction losses increase/decrease if 1 in (1.049 in ID) nominal diameter pipe is used instead of 2 in?
b) How much will friction losses increase/decrease if the water flow increases from 100 liters per minute to 150 liters per minute?
c) How much will the friction losses increase/decrease if the length changes from 30 m to 50 m?
