Question 1.
Define the continuity criterion in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
Think about inflow vs. outflow.
Question 2.
What happens to discharge in a series connection?
Show hintHide hint
Remember: all sections have the same discharge.
3Question 3.
What does the continuity criterion state?
- The total flow must be conserved.
- Flow can increase indefinitely.
- Flows can randomly change
Show hintHide hint
Consider the laws of conservation.
4Question 4.
In a series connection, what remains constant?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember how series configurations operate.
Question 5.
Consider a hydraulic system with three pipes connected at a junction, where Pipe 1's flow is 20 L/s, and Pipe 2 is 15 L/s. Determine the flow in Pipe 3 if the total inflow into the junction is 50 L/s.
Show hintHide hint
Use the continuity equation to solve for Q3.
Question 6.
Analyze a scenario where you have two parallel pipes with the same diameter. If the total outgoing flow is 40 L/s and one pipe has a flow of 10 L/s, what is the flow in the second pipe?
Show hintHide hint
Apply the continuity principle to find the missing flow.
