Question:
Assume that the same two pipes in Problem 19.47 are now in parallel with the same total pressure drop. Compute the mass flowrate in each section of pipe. Neglect additional frictional losses due to the parallel piping. Explain the reason for the observed split between the parallel pipes.
Problem 19.47
Consider a two-pipes-in-series system: that is, Pipe 1 is followed by Pipe 2. The liquid is water at room temperature with a mass flowrate of 2 kg/s. The pipes are horizontal. Calculate the pressure drop across these two pipes and the power necessary to overcome the frictional loss. Ignore the minor losses due to the pipe fitting. The pipe data are
