    Fluid Mechanics Flow Rate Problem

    Any particular recommendation on how to do this then? There is 15 ft of 4" hose coming from the 6" going into the tool and then another 30 ft of 4" hose going out of the tool back into the 6" pipe. The first 15 ft doesn't have much of a bend but it does have to go up about 4 feet to get to the...

    Fluid Mechanics Flow Rate Problem

    I have the pressure volume curve of the pump. There are a couple different curves for it on the chart. Will I just be picking a random point on the curve to start or is there a method to it i.e. should I be picking a point that is of my desired flow rate (1800-2000), or should I start with the...

    Fluid Mechanics Flow Rate Problem

    I have moody diagram but I am having trouble finding my Reynolds number for the ductile iron. All of the 6" is ductile iron in the system. I found my relative roughness for it (.017) and the hydraulic diameter is 6.0125 inches. I have found that Reynolds is (Velocity * hydraulic diameter) /...

    Fluid Mechanics Flow Rate Problem

    I am working on a project at an internship this summer regarding flow rates of a certain system that is used to test flow rates on tools, and it requires a bit of a hefty explanation. I need to increase the current flow rate (1232 GPM) to the desired flow rate (1800 GPM) because some of the...
