hand written solution please not typed, thank you A residential building is heated by hot steam during the winter. The water enters the building ina single main pipe from its source (i.e., a boiler) and then splits into several branch pipes, each ofwhich serve residents on each floor of the building. After providing thermal energy to theresidents, all the branch pipes recombine into a single pipe that exits the building with waterreturned to the heat source. Assume that the pipes serving the residents provide steam atidentically the same mass flow rate and state to each floor, and that the system as a wholeoperates at steady state.Draw a general schematic of this water-heating system with main inlet, branch pipes (for1st to nth floors), and the main exit serving the building residents.Derive an equation for the mass flow rate through each branch pipe as a function of themass flow rate provided by the source, for up to n pipes.
