Q.	What is the total loss developed in a series of pipes?
A.	Sum of losses in each pipe only
B.	Sum of local losses only
C.	Sum of local losses plus the losses in each pipe
D.	Zero
Answer» C. Sum of local losses plus the losses in each pipe
Explanation: When the pipes of different diameters are connected in series from end to end to form a pipe line. The total loss so developed is equal to the sum of local losses plus the losses in each pipe. The local losses are developed at the connection point.
