This document summarizes key concepts in fluid mechanics related to flow in pipes and pipe networks. It includes 9 multiple choice questions that assess understanding of topics like calculating discharge in parallel pipes, determining pressure changes and flow velocities in bent and inclined pipes, and selecting the appropriate device to measure pressure, velocity, or discharge in a given scenario. The questions cover concepts such as the Darcy-Weisbach equation, continuity equation, and relationships between flow rate, pipe geometry, pressure changes, and friction factors.

Flow in pipes, pipe networks.

1. A pipeline (diameter 0.3 m, length 3 km) carries water from point P to


point R (see figure). The piezometric heads at P and R are to be
maintained at 100 m and 80 m, respectively. To increase the discharge,
a second pipe is added in parallel to the existing pipe from Q to R. The
length of the additional pipe is also 2 km. Assume the friction factor, f
= 0.04 for all pipes and ignore minor losses.

What is the increase in discharge if the additional pipe has same


diameter (0.3 m)?
