QUESTION $2$

$($PO$2,$ CO$2,$ C$3)$

During the production of glycerol, the fluids need to pass through the packed bed reactor in order to absorb the remaining gas before transferring it to another unit operation. One of the sections in the glycerol production facility is shown in Figure $1$ where there are various fittings installed. Determine the total minor losses in terms of $\frac{v^2}{2g}$ for this section.
