A ½-std type M copper tube system used to make a heat exchanger has 32 180° standard bends. The joints are soldered (assume this joint type can be treated as a welded joint). The fluid flowing through the tube is liquid Refrigerant 227ea (R227ea) at 160°F. The R227ea is flowing at a rate of 1500 lbm/h. Determine the pressure drop (psi) due to the bend fittings.
