Two pipes of identical diameter and material are connected in parallel. The length of pipe A is three times the length of pipe B. Assuming the flow is fully turbulent in both pipes and thus the friction factor is independent of the Reynolds number and disregarding minor losses, determine the ratio of the flow rates in the two pipes.

Respuesta :

According to the question the ratio of the flow rates in the two pipes is [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] /1

What in physics is flow?

Fluid Flow, a branch of fluid dynamics, is concerned with fluids. It involves the movement of a fluid under the influence of uneven forces. As soon as unbalanced pressures are applied, this motion will persist.

Briefing:

Lets take

Length of pipe B = L

Length of pipe A = 3 L

Discharge in pipe A = Q₁

Discharge in pipe B = Q₂

[tex]h_{f}[/tex] = (FLQ²)/12.1.[tex]d^{5}[/tex]

F=Friction factor, Q=Discharge,L=length

d=Diameter of pipe

here all only Q and L is varying and all other quantity is constant

So we can say that

LQ²= Constant

L₁Q₁²=L₂Q²₂

By putting the values

3LQ₁²=LQ²₂

Therefore

[tex]Q_{1}[/tex]/ [tex]Q_{2}[/tex] =[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]/ 1
