A certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution involves a parallel section as shown in Figure Q2(b). Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 cm, and the flow is fully turbulent. One of the branches (pipe A) is 1500 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 2500 m long. The flowrate through pipe A is 4 m/s. If the friction factor of pipe A and pipe B are the same, determine flowrate through pipe B. Assume the water temperature is 15°C and disregard minor losses.

A horizontal water pipe diameter 15 cm converges to 7.5 cm diameter. If the pressures at the two sections are 4 kg/cm2, and 1.5 kg/cm2 respectively, calculate the flow rate of water.
The pressure in a section of a horizontal pipe of diameter d1 = 2.0 cm is p1 = 142 kPa. The water flows through the pipe at a volumetric flow rate V = 2.8 L/s. If the pressure at a certain point is reduced to p2 = 42.6 kPa, due to a throttling of a pipe section, what should the diameter d2 of the throttling section be? Consider the density of water ρ = 1.0 g/cm3. Choose the correct option:
Water (@ 75°C) flows at a horizontal pipe at a rate of 1.6 m3/min in a pipe. Flow enters a 3 inch 45 deg. elbow and diverted upwards into a connecting pipe. The diameter of the outlet is 2 inches. If the pressure just before the elbow is 78kPa, what is the magnitude and direction of the force to keep the elbow in place? Assume: that frictional losses in the elbow are negligible.
