    Undergrad Flow rate at junction when pipe splits in two parallel paths

    Next to none. I took a 100-level physics course in University to satisfy breadth requirements... but my education is in business. Lol. I guess it wasn't a simple question. I have one person saying A vs B will be equal. One stating it won't be. One stating it'll be close. One... I'm not...

    Undergrad Flow rate at junction when pipe splits in two parallel paths

    Youi're probably right that a plumber could (maybe) answer the Q... but he wouldn't know why. He'd also charge me $90 a hour (with a minimum 30 minute) and insist on coming to inspect the diagram in person prior to answering :) Input B wouldn't carry more flow, so I'm not sure I understand...

    Hmm... OK then... two viewpoints. Now which is it? :) Both make sense to me. That's the problem.

    Undergrad Flow rate at junction when pipe splits in two parallel paths

    Thank you. The source can respond with unlimited water for this purpose, so then the flow at X will be unchanged. That's what I needed to know but I didn't word it properly. Thanks again.

    Undergrad Flow rate at junction when pipe splits in two parallel paths

    Hi. I used google and found this place. I figure its as good as any to ask this question, which I'm sure forces you guys to dumb yourselves down about 3.14 notches. And this very well may not be the place to ask this question, so feel free to tell me to sod off if there's somewhere else I...
