Question: Q 1 . For the system shown in Figure below, the pressure at ( A ) is maintained constant at 2 0 psig.

Q1. For the system shown in Figure below, the pressure at \( A \) is maintained constant at 20 psig. The total volume flow rate exiting from the pipe at B depends on which valves are open or closed. Use \(\mathrm{K}=0.9\) for each elbow, but neglect the energy losses in the tees. Also, because the length of each branch is short, it neglects pipe friction losses. The steel pipe in Branch 1 is 2 in Schedule 40, and Branch 2 is 4 in Schedule 40. Calculate the volume flow rate of water for each of the following conditions:
A) Both valves open.
B) Valve in branch 2 only open.
C) Valve in branch 1 only open
\[
D_{1}=2\text {-in Schedule }40
