A certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution system involves a parallel section. Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 80 cm, and the flow is fully turbulent. One of the branches (pipe A) is 4700 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 8200 m long. If the flow rate through pipe A is 0.55m³/s, determine the flow rate through pipe B. Disregard minor losses and assume the water temperature to be 20°C. 4700 m 0.55 m³/s A 80 cm B 80 cm 8200 m
