You are to examine two flow geometries as depicted in the figure. The flow rate in the main pipe is to be maintained constant and equal to Q in both scenarios. To make the comparison simple, it will be assumed that the pipes are all smooth, that the minor losses and velocity heads are negligible and that the flow is everywhere wholly turbulent. Based on these assumptions, what is the ratio of the pressure drops AP1/AP? [Ans. AP1/AP2=28/9] Q Q L D/3 D/3 D/3 L AP D/2 D/2 L L . You are to examine two flow geometries as depicted in the figure.
