(4). Water (viscosity u=1.15 x 10 N-s/m², density p=1,000 kg/m) runs through a reticulation system as shown below. The loss coefficients are 0.4 for an elbow, 200 for a sprinkler, 0.4 for line flow in the Tee and 1.3 for branch flow in the Tee. The available pressure across the reticulation system is 400 kPa. The friction factors are 0.02 for the pipe of 25 mm diameter and 0.01 for the pipe of 40 mm diameter. Determine the water discharge through each of the sprinklers in the reticulation system. 2m 40mm diameter 10m 25mm diameter 20m 25mm diameter 20m 40mm diameter Sprinkler А Sprinkler B Figure 3 [Ans.
