PARALLEL AND SERIES PIPES

Series pipes

If a pipeline is made up of lengths of different diameters, conditions must satisfy the continuity and energy equations namely. The flow rate is the same in each pipes and the total head loss is the sum of the head losses in the individual pipes. This is the natural consequence of the conservation of mass principle for steady incompressible flow.

But since all the Qs are equal, this becomes



Parallel pipes
The head loss is same in each part and the total flow rate is the sum of the flow rate in individual part.



THANK YOU
