In series-pipe problems A. the head loss is same through each pipe B. the discharge is same through each pipe C. a trial solution is not necessary D. the discharge through each pipe is added to obtain total discharge

the head loss is same through each pipe
the discharge is same through each pipe
a trial solution is not necessary
the discharge through each pipe is added to obtain total discharge

The correct answer is: A. the head loss is same through each pipe.

In a series-pipe system, the total head loss is equal to the sum of the head losses in each pipe. The head loss in a pipe is proportional to the square of the flow rate, so if the flow rate is the same through each pipe, the head loss will also be the same.

Option B is incorrect because the discharge is not necessarily the same through each pipe. The discharge in a pipe is proportional to the pressure difference across the pipe, so if the pressure difference is different across each pipe, the discharge will also be different.

Option C is incorrect because a trial solution

is often necessary to solve series-pipe problems. This is because the head loss in a pipe is not always known, and it must be calculated in order to determine the flow rate.

Option D is incorrect because the discharge through each pipe is not added to obtain total discharge. The total discharge is equal to the sum of the flow rates in each pipe.
