Abstract

There are several elements that affect the flow rate of water. One of the most convincing factors that resist the flow of water is the salinity. When the salinity takes place in a pipe the minerals of calcium and magnesium carbonates stick to the surfaces of pipes, which restricts water flow in the pipe. The main goal of this project is to investigate the effect of salinity on the flow rate of water. To achieve project aims, this project includes two experiments, the effect of salinity on the flow rate of water experiment and the effect of salt size on water flow rate experiment. The design of two experiments components is same but the type of salt will be changed. In general, the investigation of salinity influence on water flow rate is observed under fixed temperature and initial flow rate. At the end of the experiments, the results are mentioned in tables and in the line graphs to describe the effect of salinity on the flow rate of water. In the effect of salinity on the flow rate of water experiment, the results show inversely proportional relation between salinity and flow rate of water.To illustrate, when the amount of salinity increase the flow rate will decrease because the salt will restrict the flow of water. On the other hand, the results of the influence of salt size on the flow rate of water experiment show the big size salt restricts the flow of water more than small size salt. So, the using different size of salt will change the flow rate of water that flows in the piping system.
