Two pipe systems are said to be equivalent in their lengths when
- Athe friction factor and discharge are same in both the systems
- Bthe same head loss is produced by the same discharge in both the systemsCorrect
- Cboth the systems are in series
- Dthe discharge and diameter are same in both the systems
Solution
Concept
Equivalent pipe
Step-by-step solution
1. Two systems are equivalent when the same discharge produces the same head loss.
Explanation
Equivalent length concept.
Why the other options are wrong
Others are not the definition.
Shortcut
Same Q, same h.
Correct answer: B) the same head loss is produced by the same discharge in both the systems
