Problem 2 Given is a three-pipe series system, as shown below. The total pressure drop is pa-PB = 150,000 Pa, and the elevation drop is ZA - Z8 = 5 m. The pipe data are Pipe d, cm E, mm Eld L, m 100 0.24 8 0.003 150 0.24 0.12 0.20 0.003 0.002 0.005 N 80 The fluid is water, p = 1000 kg/m3 and v = 1.02 x 10-6 m/s. Calculate the flow rate Q in m3/h through the system.
