FLOW THROUGH BRANCHES PIPES
Tuesday, 26 May 2015 | 00:10 | 0 comment(s)
When three or more reservoirs are connected by
means of pipes, having one or more junctions, then this arrangement is callled
branching of pipe.
In several practical situations, flow takes place under a given head
through different pipes jointed together either in series or in parallel or in
a combination of both of them.
We shall assume that all the pipesare sufficient
long that we canneglect minor losses and velocityhead so h
As there are no pumps, the elevation of P must
liebetween the surfaces of reservoirs A and C.If P is below the surface of
reservoir Bthen h2 and Q2
Example:
The elevations of water surfaces in reservoirs A
andC are 250 ft and 160 ft, respectively and thedischarge Q2 into
reservoir B is 3.3 cfs. Find thesurface elevation of reservoir B.
CONCLUSION
Piping systems are documented in piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs). If necessary, pipes can be cleaned by the tube cleaning process. Within industry, piping is a system of pipes used to convey fluids (liquids and gases) from one location to another. The engineering discipline of piping design studies the efficient transport of fluid.
"Piping" sometimes refers to Piping Design, the detailed specification of the physical piping layout within a process plant or commercial building. In earlier days, this was sometimes called Drafting, Technical drawing, Engineering Drawing, and Design but is today commonly performed by Designers who have learned to use automated Computer Aided Drawing / Computer Aided Design (CAD) software.
Plumbing is a piping system with which most people are familiar, as it constitutes the form of fluid transportation that is used to provide potable water and fuels to their homes and businesses. Plumbing pipes also remove waste in the form of sewage, and allow venting of sewage gases to the outdoors. Fire sprinkler systems also use piping, and may transport nonpotable or potable water, or other fire-suppression fluids.
Piping also has many other industrial applications, which are crucial for moving raw and semi-processed fluids for refining into more useful products. Some of the more exotic materials of construction are Inconel, titanium, chrome-moly and various other steel alloys.
