Certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution system involves a parallel section. Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 cm, and the flow is wholly turbulent. One of the braches (pipe A) is 1000 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 3000 m long. If the flow rate through pipe A is 0.4 m3/s, determine the flow rate through pipe B. You may disregard minor losses. Confirm that the flow is wholly turbulent and therefore the friction factor is independent of Reynolds number.

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10
