Consider steady flow of water in a situation where two pipe lines (pipe 1 and pipe 2) combine into a single pipe line (pipe 3) as shown in figure. The cross-sectional'area of all three pipelines are constant. The following data is given
Assuming the water properties and the velocities to be uniform across the cross-section of the inlets and the outlet, the exit velocity (in m/s) in pipe 3 is

- 1
- 1.5
- 2
- 2.5

Correct Option: C
Q1 + Q2 = Q3
A1V1 + A2V2 = A3V3
1 + 4 = 2.5 V3
or V3 = 2 m/s
