Problem: Consider the pipeline system presented below:

a$.$ Calculate the flow rate in the system. For energy losses assume the equation

$h_{\text{L}\text{o}\text{s}\text{s}}=h_{\text{f}\text{r}\text{i}\text{c}\text{t}\text{i}\text{o}\text{n}}+h_{\text{l}\text{o}\text{c}\text{a}\text{l}}=(f(\frac{L}{D})+25\mathrm{.}0)\frac{Q^2}{2g{A}_{\text{p}\text{i}\text{p}\text{e}}^2}$

Assume the value of the friction factor $f$ equal to $0\mathrm{.}015.(34$ pts$).$ Note: The discharge is into the atmosphere, thus there is velocity $($and kinetic energy$)$ at the end of the pipeline flow.

b$.$ Using engineering$/$gridded paper, carefully draft the EGL and HGL drawing to scale. The quality and accuracy of your drawing will reflect in your grade $(33$ pts$)$

c$.$ Calculate the numerical value of the minimum pressure in the pipeline, and indicate the location of the minimum pressure using the EGL$/$HGL calculation in the previous step $(33$ pts$)$
