Calculatethe energy loss for water flowing at 8m/sthrough a standard tee fitting withan18-in ductile iron pipeif the flow is through the run of the tee.
Two pipes 1 and 2 having the following properties are connected in series:
Pipe 1 - Length = 1500m, Diameter = 850mm f= 0.025
Pipe 2 - Length = 1200m, Diameter = 650mm f= 0.020
