Consider a pipe that branches out into two parallel pipes and then rejoins at a junction downstream. The two parallel pipes have the same lengths and friction factors. The diameters of the pipes are 2 cm and 4 cm. The flow rate in pipe with 2 cm diameter is 10 L/min.

Draw piping system

What is the flow rate in the other pipe? (L/min)

What is the headloss at the junction? Friction factor is 0.001 and the length of the pipe is 5m.

A flowrate enters a junction and is split into two pipes: Pipe P-1 and Pipe P-2. The diameters of both pipes are 12 inches and have C values of 135. The length of P-1 is 1650 feet, while the length of P-2 is 800 feet. If the flowrate of P-1 is fixed at 1000 gal/min, what is the flowrate in P-2? Round your answer to the nearest whole gal/min.
