A 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 fully turbulent. One of the branches (pipe A) is 1500 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 2500 m long. If the flow rate through pipe A is 0.4 m/s, determine the flow rate through pipe B. Assume the flow is fully rough, thus the friction factor is independent of Reynolds number. I 0.4 m/s 30 cm 1500 m A В 30 cm 2500 m
