1. Three pipelines as described below are arranged in 3 modes: 1) series 2) parallel and 3) series-parallel with pipeline A as the main that feeds pipelines B and C which are in parallel. In all three modes the total pressure drop from the system inlet to outlet is 350 feet. The friction factor (f) for all pipelines is 0.014. Calculate the flow and pressure for each pipeline in all 3 modes and list the answers in the table. Attach your calculation sheets.
