Example 2.6
If the diameter d = 15 cm and the mean velocity, v = 3 m/s, calculate the actual discharge in the pipe.
Solution:

2.3.5 Continuity Equation
Fig. 8: Principle of continuity
Another example in the use of the continuity principle is to determine the velocities in pipes coming from a
junction.
Total discharge into the junction = Total discharge out of the junction
Q1 = Q2 + Q3
A1v1 = A2v2 + A3v3
