Question:

There are three equal-length sections of identical 3-in, schedule-40, commercial-steel pipe in series. An increased flowrate of 20% is needed. How is the pressure drop affected? It is decided to replace the second section with two equal-length, identical sections of the original pipe in parallel. How is the pressure drop in this system affected relative to the original case? Neglect minor losses due to elbows and fittings and assume fully developed turbulent flow.
