Question 1.
What happens to the flow rate when it passes through multiple branches?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the conservation of mass.
Question 2.
Define head loss.
Show hintHide hint
It causes pressure loss in fluid systems.
3Question 3.
What is the flow continuity equation?
Show hintHide hint
Recall how flows balance in branches.
4Question 4.
True or False: Head loss is not constant in branching pipes.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the physical scenario of equal resistance.
Question 5.
A system has three branches: Pipe A with flow rate 10 L/min, Pipe B with flow rate 15 L/min, and Pipe C with flow rate 25 L/min. If the total incoming flow is 60 L/min, determine if the flow division is accurate.
Show hintHide hint
Check the total flow against given rates.
Question 6.
You have a network of two pipes, one 8 cm and another 16 cm in diameter. Calculate the equivalent diameter for simplified analysis focusing on equal flow distribution.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the relationship between area and flow rate.
