Question 1.
Define the continuity equation.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the conservation principle.
Question 2.
What does the Darcy-Weisbach equation calculate?
Show hintHide hint
Remember, H_L is an important term.
3Question 3.
What is the continuity equation principle?
- Total outflow may exceed total inflow.
- Total inflow equals total outflow.
- Inflow is irrelevant to outflow.
Show hintHide hint
Think about flow balance at network nodes.
4Question 4.
True or False: The Darcy-Weisbach equation considers only major losses in pipes.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the assumptions made in hydraulic calculations.
Question 5.
Consider a pipe network where three nodes are interconnected. Node A has a 50 L/s inflow, while Node B has 20 L/s outflow, and Node C has a 30 L/s outflow. Calculate the flow rates into and out of Node A using continuity principles.
Show hintHide hint
Remember the inflow and outflows must balance out.
Question 6.
Given a network where the head loss calculated for one of the pipes is 5 meters with a discharge of 60 L/s, how would you adjust for head losses in other pipes using the Hardy Cross Method?
Show hintHide hint
Always recheck your head loss values before adjusting.
