Equivalent length of a pipe fitting is____________________?
Correct answer: C. Dependent on Reynolds number
- A. Dependent on the length of the pipe
- B. Independent of Reynolds number
- C. Dependent on Reynolds number
- D. None of these
Explanation
Equivalent length represents the length of straight pipe having the same pressure loss as a fitting, and the loss depends on the flow regime and hence Reynolds number. It is also affected by fitting geometry, not by the total pipe length.
