Water flows from the upper tank to the lower tank through a cast iron pipe of total length L-1100 ft through one half-closed gate valve, four regular 90° flanged elbows, and entrance/exit as shown. For 2 cases with the same pipe perimeter P 12 in., compute the volume flow rate (ft /s) through: circular pipe of diameter D, and equilateral triangular pipe with each side a. a) b) Note that the flow areas and hydraulic diameters will be different. Find the relation between a and D. Holding the pipe perimeter constant makes the amount of pipe material (or weight) the same in each case. Do no more than 2 iterations beyond the initial guess for friction factor in each case. 1 ft 50 ft 8 ft
