In the parallel system shown, pipe 1 has a length of 3000 ft and 20-inch in diameter. Pipe 2 is 5000 ft long and 15-inch in diameter. The pipe is commercial steel with roughness 0.00015 ft. Water temperature is 50°F (kinematic viscosity is 1.41 x 105 ft?/s), and the total discharge is to be 4 ft /s? Use g = 32.2 ft/s?. Determine: The velocity, friction factor, and flow rate of water in pipes 1 and 2.

Question
In the parallel system shown, pipe 1 has a length of 3000 ft and 20-inch in
diameter.
Pipe 2 is 5000 ft long and 15-inch in diameter.
The pipe is commercial steel with roughness 0.00015 ft.
Water temperature is 50°F (kinematic viscosity is 1.41 x 10-5 ft2/s), and the
total discharge is to be 4 ft /s? Use g = 32.2 ft/s².
Determine:
The velocity, friction factor, and flow rate of water in pipes 1 and 2.
