A main pipe distributing water has a diameter of 158 mm and is distributed into three outlets. The first outlet has a velocity rate of 10m/s and a diameter of 50mm. The second outlet has a velocity rate of 11m/s and a diameter of 75mm. The third outlet has a flow rate of 0.265619 m^3/s moving at a velocity of 15m/s. if the pressure head in the larger diameter part is 28 ft. a) determine the pressure head at the smaller diameter. b) what is the velocity head of the larger pipe? c) what is the velocity head of the smaller pipe? d) What is the total head in the system?

Question
A main pipe distributing water has a diameter of 158 mm and is distributed into three outlets. The
first outlet has a velocity rate of 10m/s and a diameter of 50mm. The second outlet has a velocity rate of
11m/s and a diameter of 75mm. The third outlet has a flow rate of 0.265619 m^3/s moving at a
velocity of 15m/s. if the pressure head in the larger diameter part is 28 ft. a) determine the
pressure head at the smaller diameter. b) what is the velocity head of the larger pipe? c) what is the velocity
head of the smaller pipe? d) What is the total head in the system?
