    Undergrad Using a throttling valve to reduce pressure in gravity-fed water distribution

    Flow through pipes and throttling valves...NEED HELP! I need some help with a real-life problem I have an open topped water collection tank at elevation. The water is distributed by gravity flow from the tank via a pipe to a lower elevation. At the point of delivery, the pressure head is...
