Chapter 10, Problem 12RQ

Calculate the minimum copper conductor size needed for a 120/240 volt electric range branch circuit. The electric range has a nameplate rating of 12kw

Given: Qa=Qf=96 Da=Df=4.5 Db=1 Dc=0.5 Dd=1.25 De=0.8 Pipes B-E are the same length (500 ft)If losses in the pipe connections labeled A, and F are negligible, the parallel pipes are made ofrecently installed Galvanized iron, and the only head losses incurred are due to the parallelnetwork. As hint: this problem is easier to solve using the Hazen-Williams (HW) equation. Feelfree to use the Darcy-Weisbach (DW) equation as well. Solution will use HW.a Determine the total head loss going from A to Fb Determine the flowrates in pipes B – E
