Question 37

MEMCQ2 marksNeeds review
In the pipe network shown in the figure, all pipes have the same cross-section and can be assumed to have the same friction factor. The pipes connecting points

,

, and

with point

have an equal length

. The pipe connecting points

and

has a length

. The pressures at the ends

,

, and

are equal. The flow rate in the pipe connecting

and

is

. Assume that the fluid flow is steady, incompressible, and the pressure losses at the pipe entrance and junction are negligible. Consider the following statements:
I: The flow rate in pipe connecting

and

is

.
II: The pressure difference between

and

is equal to the pressure difference between

and

.
