CONTINUITY EQUATION Fluid Flow Figure 4 "Y" Configuration for Example Problem Example: Continuity Equation - Multiple Outlets A piping system has a "Y" configuration for separating the flow as shown in Figure 4. The diameter of the inlet leg is 12 in., and the diameters of the outlet legs are 8 and 10 in. The velocity in the 10 in. leg is 10 ft/sec. The flow through the main portion is 500 lbm/sec. The density of water is 62.4 lbm/ft³. What is the velocity out of the 8 in. pipe section? HT-03 Page 14 Rev. 0
