Certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution system involves a parallel section. Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 cm, and the flow is wholly turbulent. One of the braches (pipe A) is 1000 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 3000 m long. If the flow rate through pipe A is 0.4 m3/s, determine the flow rate through pipe B. You may disregard minor losses. Confirm that the flow is wholly turbulent and therefore the friction factor is independent of Reynolds number.

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater

The power source in a certain welding setup generates 3500w that is transferred to the low carbon steel work with a heat transfer factor of 0.85. the melting factor in the operation is 0.45. a continuous fillet weld is to be made with a cross-sectional area of 23 mm2 determine the travel speed at which the welding can be accomplished.

Consider airflow over a flat plate of length l = 1.5 m under conditions for which transition occurs at le = 0.9 m based on the critical reynolds number, re, e = 5 x 10. evaluating the thermophysical properties of air at 400 k, determine the air velocity. (hint: use the tables to find the properties of air)
