In a typical system with long pipes, the major losses give amajor contribution to the head loss in the straight sections of thepipe compared to the minor losses. (a) Water at 15°C is flowingsteadily in a 30-m-long and 5-cm-diameter horizontal pipe made ofstainless steel (surface roughness, 𝜀 = 0.002 𝑚𝑚) at a rate of 14LPM. Determine
iv) the pressure drop,
v) the head loss, and
vi) the pumping power required to overcome this pressuredrop.
