Suppose that the three cast-iron pipes in Prob. 6.120 are instead connected to meet smoothly at a point B, as shown in Fig. P6.125. The inlet pressures in each pipe are: p1 = 200 kPa; p2 = 160 kPa; p3 = 100 kPa. The fluid is water at 20°C. Neglect minor losses. Estimate the flow rate in each pipe and whether it is toward or away from point B.
