Water in a household plumbing system originates at the


Water in a household plumbing system originates at the neighborhood water main where the pressure is 480kPa, the velocity is 5m/s, and the elevation is 2.44 m. A 19 mm (3/4-in) copper service line supplies water to a two-story residence where the faucet in the master bedroom is 40 m (of pipe) away from the main and at an elevation of 7.62 m. If the sum of the minor-loss coefficents is 3.5, estimate the maximum (open faucet) flow. Is this flow rate typical for a bathroom faucet? How would this flow be affected by the operation of other faucets in the house?
