3. (25 pts) For the parallel pipe system shown here, the pressure drop Δp=p1−p2=21kPa, and the fluid is SAE 10 oil at 20∘C(ρ=870 kg/m3,μ=1.04×10−1 kg/(m−s)). There is no elevation change between points 1 and 2 . Assuming a constant friction factor f=0.05, compute the total flow rate Q between points 1 and 2. 4. (25 pts) If the pipes are instead laid in series with the same total pressure drop ( 21kPa ) and same friction factor f, what is the flow rate?
