Water is transported from a reservoir at higher elevation to another reservoir through a series of three pipes. The first pipe of 0.4-m diameter is 500 m long, the second pipe 600 m long, size 0.3 m, and the last pipe is 500 m long of diameter 0.2 m. If the elevation difference between two reservoirs is 30 m, calculate equivalent pipe size and flow in the pipe.
