Oil flows through a pipe AB of 30 cm diameter with velocity of 3 m/s and then passes through pipe BC of 20 cm diameter. At C the pipe branches into two pipes namely CD and CE. Diameters of pipes CD and CE are 22 cm and 8 cm respectively. Volume flow rate through pipe CE is half of the pipe AB. Perform the following: (i) Draw the schematic diagram of the system; (ii) Determine volume flow rate through the pipe AB; (iii) Determine velocity in pipe BC, CD and DE. Analyse the effect on the velocity of fluid if volume flow rate is decreased for the system given in this Q.

Question

Oil flows through a pipe AB of 30 cm diameter with velocity of 3 m/s and
then passes through pipe BC of 20 cm diameter. At C the pipe branches
into two pipes namely CD and CE. Diameters of pipes CD and CE are
22 cm and 8 cm respectively. Volume flow rate through pipe CE is half
of the pipe AB. Perform the following:
(i) Draw the schematic diagram of the system;
(ii) Determine volume flow rate through the pipe AB;
(iii) Determine velocity in pipe BC, CD and DE.

Analyse the effect on the velocity of fluid if volume flow rate is decreased
for the system given in this Q.
