The figure 1 above presents a crudely simplified centralised water heating system. The system comprises of two heating lines, the first line having one radiatorand the second has four radiators in series.The pressure after the pump (point (1)) is 2 bar, and the flow velocity is 1.2 m/s. For simplicity we can assume the water to be in constant temperature of 60◦C. Loss coefficients and pressure losses are listed in Table 1, and pipe lengths and diameters are given in Table 2.For the system balancing, the target is to divide the mass flow so, so that 20% of the mass flow goes to the first line (i.e. through radiator R1.1) and 80% of the flow goes to the second line (R2.1 - R2.4):(a) How large pressure loss is needed in the control valve CV1 to get the desired flow rates in the two lines? (b) How large is then the minor loss coefficient of the said valve, KCV1? (c) How much is the pressure, in bar, at the end of the line at section 4?
