Question

37. What is the total loss developed in a series of pipes?
a) Sum of losses in each pipe only
b) Sum of local losses only
c) Sum of local losses plus the losses in each pipe
do zero​

Answer 1

The total loss developed in a series of pipes is the sum of local losses plus the losses in each pipe.

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

• A pipeline is formed by connecting pipes of different diameters in a series.
• Pipes are connected from end to end in series.
• At the point of connection of each, there are certain points at which local losses are developed.
• Therefore total loss is equal to the sum of local losses and losses in each pipe.
