Undergrad Fluid mechanics of water in a pipe
After going through everything again, I realize I'm completely off base in my last post. That program Bob used gave me my output velocity via the flow rate. If that's the case, then my exit velocity is roughly 0.06 m/s. To me that seems much too low. I am wandering off the path somewhere and...- saytrain15

Undergrad Fluid mechanics of water in a pipe
Bob, I was wondering how you came to the conclusion that the initial velocity would be around 9 m/s. Assuming everything is correct, pressure drop = 108 psi and pressure of water at the exit = 7.45 psi, I can plug those numbers into the bernoulli equation, which should look like this...- saytrain15

Undergrad Fluid mechanics of water in a pipe
Yea, I'm way past laminar flow with the current setup. I'm looking into more details right now, but I'm pretty sure there is not a resovoir at the end of the tubing and there is not any kind of nozzle (which would probably shoot off like a bullet anyways). After looking at it for a bit I...- saytrain15

Undergrad Fluid mechanics of water in a pipe
Hello All, I've frequented this forum for various purposes and this is the first time I've decided to post! Hopefully I can find the help or conformation I'm looking for. I may not have all the necessary info, but I feel this is basic enough that I should be able to come up with an...- saytrain15
