When the rate at which a circulator adds head to the fluid in a piping system equals the rate at which the piping system dissipates this head, the system is in hydraulic equilibrium, and flow rate will ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a system is in hydraulic equilibrium, the flow rate will remain constant because the rate of head being added by the circulator is equal to the rate of head being dissipated by the system, resulting in a constant flow rate.
