For the pipe system in problem 4.3.4, compare the expansion losses. Suppose the diameter of the third pipe was twice that of the second. What can you infer by comparing the headlosses at the expansion?

Problem 4.3.4

For the pipe system shown in Figure P4.3.4 determine the proportion of each pipe so that the pipe friction loss in each pipe is the same. Assume the same friction factor in all pipes.
