Three pipes are connected in series. Then,
- Athe head loss in each pipe is the same
- Bthe total discharge is the sum of the discharge in the individual pipes
- Cthe discharge through each pipe is the sameCorrect
- Dthe Reynolds number for each pipe is the same
Solution
Concept
Series pipes
Step-by-step solution
1. In series the same discharge flows through each pipe.
Explanation
Continuity requires the same Q.
Why the other options are wrong
Head losses add; discharge adds in parallel.
Shortcut
Series: same Q.
Correct answer: C) the discharge through each pipe is the same
