Question 1

What defines a series connection?

  • A. Multiple pipes connected side by side
  • B. Pipes connected end to end with the same discharge
  • C. A configuration with varying discharge

💡 Hint: Recall the arrangement of pipes in series.

Question 2

True or False: In parallel connections, the discharge is evenly split among the pipes.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how multiple paths work together.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A series of three pipes are connected, each experiencing head losses of 2, 3, and 5 meters respectively. Calculate the total head loss and the impact on system pressure.

💡 Hint: Add all losses since they're in series.

Question 2

Design a simple water distribution system using both series and parallel connections. Calculate the total discharge if the series section has a discharge of 10 L/s and each of the parallel pipes has discharges of 5 L/s.

💡 Hint: Combine series and sum the discharge from parallel pipes.
