A flowrate enters a junction and is split into two pipes (Pipe P-1 and Pipe P-2) then join back together downstream. The diameters of both pipes are 12 inches and have C values of 145. The length of P-1 is 1650 feet, while the length of P-2 is 2200 feet. If the flowrate of P-1 is fixed at 940 GPM, what is the flowrate in P-2?

Answer #1

P1 and P2 are parallel pipes and hence their headloss are equal.

Using Hazen Williams equation, the headloss is equated and flow is found.

Flow for pipe 2= 804.625 GPM

A flowrate enters a junction and is split into two pipes: Pipe P-1 and Pipe P-2. The diameters of both pipes are 12 inches and have C values of 135. The length of P-1 is 1650 feet, while the length of P-2 is 800 feet. If the flowrate of P-1 is fixed at 1000 gal/min, what is the flowrate in P-2? Round your answer to the nearest whole gal/min.

Consider a pipe that branches out into two parallel pipes and then rejoins at a junction downstream. The two parallel pipes have the same lengths and friction factors. The diameters of the pipes are 2 cm and 4 cm. The flow rate in pipe with 2 cm diameter is 10 L/min. Draw piping system What is the flow rate in the other pipe? (L/min) What is the headloss at the junction? Friction factor is 0.001 and the length of the...
