In case of end to end connection of two or more pipes in series, the ______________ each pipe?
Correct answer: D. Same rate of flow passes through
- A. Total flow rate is the sum of flow rate in
- B. Head loss is same through
- C. Rate of flow in each pipe is proportional to the length of
- D. Same rate of flow passes through
Explanation
For pipes connected in series, continuity requires the same flow rate to pass successively through every pipe. Head losses generally differ because the pipe lengths, diameters, and friction factors may differ.
