![One of the steps in the commercial production of candy is the mixing of sugar and water to form a slurry
with a density of 1200 kg/m³ and a viscosity of 5 x 10-3 kg/m-s at 20 degrees Celsius. The slurry then
overflows from the mixer to a trough that is connected to a 6-inch smooth pipe leading to a receiving vessel
that is 4 m lower than the trough. This 15-m long pipe contains two short 90-degree bends (Kw = 1.2) and
an open gate valve (Kw = 0.05). How fast is the slurry flowing through the pipe (in m/s) and at what capacity
(in m³/h)? Illustrate the system and indicate the reference points on which the balances are based.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd047f484-2235-4749-aa8b-d1a049368ba4%2Fc3f2c517-34cb-4447-b534-30511f584db9%2Fr4f45md_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
