Find the loss in total pressure for each run in the simple duct system of Fig. 1, using the
equal-friction method and in English unit. The total pressure available for the duct system
is 0.12 in. wg (30 Pa), and the loss in total pressure for each diffuser at the specified flow
rate is 0.02 in. wg (5 Pa). Duct fittings are listed in Table 1. Assume the duct dimeter in
run 1 is 10 in. and the rest are 8 in. Does the duct system require any adjustment?

A "spa tub" is to be designed to replace bath tubs in reno-
vations. There are to be 6 outlet nozzles, each with a di-
ameter of 12 mm, and each should have an outlet velocity
of 12 m/s. What is the required flow rate from the single
pump that supplies all of these nozzles? If there is one
suction line leading to the pump, what is the minimum
diameter to limit the velocity at the inlet of the pump to
2.5 m/s?
