The water flows through a pipeline 1.2m diameter at a velocity of 3m/s which bifurcates at a Y-junction into two branches. The first branch is 0.8m in diameter and carries 1/3 of the flow, whereas the second branch carries the water in a velocity of 2.4m/s. Calculate (i) discharge, (ii) velocity in the first branch and (iii) diameter of the second branch.

0.005 m² and the oil flows with a mean velocity of 4 m/s with a gauge pressure of 800 kPa.
Point (2) is further along the pipe and there the bore area is 0.002 m² and the level is 50 m
above point (1). Calculate the pressure at this point (2). Neglect friction. (374 kPa)
