    Calculating whether the force of a flow rate is sufficient to move a disc

    The delta P is 5 to 7 psi. and the piping is ASME Class150, so the pressure would never exceed 290 psig in the pipe. The only effects on the disc is gravity.

    Calculating whether the force of a flow rate is sufficient to move a disc

    Homework Statement There is a vertical 10 inch pipeline with a disc hanging in it. The disc weighs 7.3 kg. There is a flow coming from the opposite direction (water with density 1017.17 kgm/m3) coming at 2250 gpm at 198 psi in the opposite direction (moving up through a pipe). Is there...
