question 1

The figure shows the section of the water distribution system for a process plant Water from the cooling tower is pumped to a pressurized buffer tank. The velocity head is 3.03 m. The friction factor fy when the fluid is fully turbulent is 1.096 x 10-2. Entrance and exit loss, K-0.5 Calculate the total minor losses through the system in m to 2 d.p.
