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
i) the velocity of the inlet flow of the water,
ii) Reynolds number and flow regime flowing in the pipe,
iii) friction factor in the pipe (you may use any possiblemethod, state your method),
