im trying top find the flow rate of water from a closed pipe. one thing that i think i can work with is a hose. there is a hose branching of the main flow pipe, which can be used to clean floor etc. im thinking that i can not open the hose and thus measure the stagnatiob pressure at the...

I'm looking to buy a book or three on pipe stress analysis and design. If you work in this field, please make some recommendations for me. Thanks,

Good day, My question relates to the use of a pressure reducing station (pressure reducing valve) in a steam system. As those involved in the design know, pipe sizing is carried out starting with the furthest point (the most demanding point of consumption) and sizing shall start from that...

I have an "odd" use for pvc pipe. My house is made exclusively of styrofoam and plastic. (and a geodome to boot) I need to stick with this as any other material that was used has failed miserably (wood and steel mainly) my question is, how much weight can a 10' piece of 3" schedule 40...

In my fluid mechanics class, we did an experiment where we were asked to measure some values and then, using a Moody Diagram, estimate the roughness of the pipe. Briefly, each trial consisted of allowing water to flow down a thin tube (diameter D=9.5mm) and into a discharge cylinder. A manometer...

This isn't actually a homework/coursework question, but rather a need to clarify a discepancy between my lecturer's notes and a textbook. My lecturer's notes state that for an "organ" pipe, closed at one end, the 1st harmonic frequency will be 4L. For the 2nd harmonic the frequency will be...

Hi people. Please explain me, why in a horisontal pipe (closed) a bubble go to middle, and not stay in any other position? Also what is the difference of forces when this bubble moves from right/left to middle and when it rise from bottom to top. I know bubble rise due to buoyancy...

Hi all, can someone please tell me what are the advantages of using a trunnion pipe support? I guess that since it is welded on the pipe, it will prevent pipe movements in any directions, but then why would you use a trunnion instead of an anchor? Thank you!

How could I determine the length of a pipe by playing a certain frequency into it, then measuring how long the echo is audible?

I am working on a problem involving heat transfer from a horizontal pipe in air. I am having trouble with it and not getting the solution I expect, and I think it is because of the convection component of the heat transfer. The general formula I am following for convection from a horizontal pipe...
