By "assume a pump suction pressure", are you referencing what would be known as the NPSHR for a specific pump? I think this concept of suction pressure is where I am stuck.
Below I am showing two examples:
To evaluate example 1: Let's assume its a 6" pipe and the medium is water. By...
If I a pump with a main suction header and 4 smaller branch connections of difference sizes. Let's say for this example we have (2) 3", (1) 1", and (1) 2". Also let's say our pump is requiring 20 gal/min.
The flow rate of each branch would be proportional to the area of the pipe correct? flow =...
I think I get what you are saying. It helps for me to think of fluids as molecules in instances like this so I am going to re-cap it like that. I believe what you are saying is that if we look at a molecule of water in turbulent flow, we know that not all the velocity of the molecule is in the...
Hey guys, I am doing an internship and I have had some thoughts about fluid flow that have come up and I am having trouble fully grasping some concepts due to no one being able to thoroughly explain any answer that they might come up with.
So I have a crude understanding of some fluid dynamics...
