A 15% calcium chloride solution at −5°C is being delivered from a large refrigerated storage tank with the gravity-feed pipe network shown in Figure P4.27. A 30° tapered reducer is used to reduce the pipe size from 3-nom sch 40 to 2-nom sch 40 as shown in the figure. All pipes are commercial steel and the elbows are standard. Determine,

a. The volumetric flow rate of calcium chloride solution delivered by this system (L/s)

b. The velocity of the calcium chloride solution in each of the pipes (m/s)
