Part B:Question:Water at 40 °C (?=992.3???3 ??? ?=0.664×10−6 ?2/?) flows at velocity of 2 m/s through a pipe with a diameter of 20 mm and a friction factor of f = 0.004. The water enters the pipe at point A (Figure Q2, photo attached) into a bath shower mixer unit out of which, the water can exit through the spout via a gate valve or through the showerhead. If the water exits through the spout via a fully opened gate valve at B, with a diameter of 12 mm, determine the water pressure at point A. The minor loss coefficient is K_spout = 0.6 for the spout at B. Account for the minor loss in the elbow, the tee, and the gate valve. The gate valve at E is closed. If the water emerges through the showerhead (point C) that consists of 100 identical holes, each with a diameter of 1.5 mm.
