13c Pipes Series Parallel

The document discusses head loss and flow relationships in pipe networks arranged in series and parallel configurations. It provides equations for total head loss and flow quantities in four examples with different arrangements of pipes in series and parallel. The solution states that the specific formula used depends on the coefficients given, but the relationships between head loss and flow can be determined based on whether pipes are arranged in series or parallel.

1 2 3

1. Total head loss = hf1 + hf2 + hf3

2. Q1 = Q2 = Q3

B. SERIES and PARALLEL


1. Total head loss = hf1 + hf3 + hf5
2. Q1 = Q5
3. Q1 = Q2 + Q3 + Q4
4. hf2 = hf3 = hf4

C. SERIES and PARALLEL

1. Total head loss = hf1 + hf2 + hf5


2. Q1 = Q5 5. hf2 = hf3 + hf4
3. Q1 = Q2 + Q3
4. Q 3 = Q4
D. SERIES and PARALLEL

1. Total head loss = hf1 + hf3 + hf5 + hf6


2. Q1 = Q6
3. Q1 = Q2 + Q3 + Q4
4. hf3 = hf4
5. hf2 = hf3 + hf5

6. Q5 + Q 2 = Q6
7. Q5 = Q 3 + Q4
Solution:
The formula to use depends on the coefficient or factor given:
Example: f  Darcy Weisback Formula
n  Manning’s Formula
,   Hazen – Poseville Equation
C, R, S  Hazen Williams Formula

Use
For pipe 1

For pipe 5
Relationships of hfs and Qs in series and parallel pipes are standard
which can be used no matter what factors and/or coefficients are given.
