1. Due to government water privatization, a bustling metropolitan city is now home to substantial and continuous water supply. While before the supply was only 200 liters/sec on old pipes, it is now 350 liters/sec running on a new steel pipe network shown on the figure below. . Given: f = 0.015 (for all pipes except the outlet pipe) f = 0.014 (for outlet pipe) Compute the flow of water in the upper branch. Compute the flow of water in the lower branch. Compute the energy loss per unit mass between the inlet and the outlet.
