Fragen in diesem Quiz (20)
1In a purely technical sense, the word fluid can mean either a liquid, such as water, or a gas, such as air.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
2Flow velocity is a measurement of the volume of fluid that passes a given location in a pipe in a given time.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
3The static pressure at a given depth below the surface of a liquid remains exactly the same regardless of the diameter of the pipe.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
4Using pressure gauges to detect changes in the head of a liquid is like using thermometers to detect changes in the thermal energy content of that liquid.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
5Each component in a piping assembly or circuit has an associated hydraulic resistance that defines its ability to dissipate thermal energy from the fluid at any given flow rate.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
6Use of pressure drop charts based on 60ºF water will consistently overestimate the pressure drop in hydronic piping circuits because the water will usually be at higher temperatures.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
7The equivalent length of a component is the amount of tubing, of the same pipe size, that would produce the same head loss (or pressure drop), as the actual component, at the same flow rate.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
8The equivalent hydraulic resistance of an entire assembly is always greater than the smallest individual hydraulic resistance.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
9Determining the flow rates in systems with several parallel branches does not require "number crunching."
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
10Every piping system should be thought of as having an operating cost as well as an installation cost.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
11The term "flow velocity" is commonly understood to mean the __________ flow velocity of the fluid as it moves through a pipe.

- A.5 and .75
- B1 and 2
- C1 and 3
