In a chemical satefy ppe line of diameter and of length is connected to a chemical reservoir at one end. The other end of the chemical satety pipe is connected to a junction from which two pipes of length and diameter run in parallet. These parallel pipes are connected to another chemical reservoir, which is having level or water below the water level of the above reservoir Determine the fotal discharge it . Neglect minor losses.

Expert Answer
To determine the total discharge in this scenario, we can use the Darcy-Weisbach equation, which relates the flow rate in a pipe to various parameters including diameter, length, friction factor, and hydraulic head difference. Given the information provided, we can calculate the total discharge using the following steps:Step 1: Calculate the cross-sectional area of the first pipe.The diameter of the pipe is given as 0.4 m, so the radius (r) would be half of that: 0.2 m.The cross-sectional area (A) of the pipe can be calculated using the formula: A = ? * r^2.
