Fluid Dynamics Question:
I have a 1.5" pipe that has water pumped through it. The pipe is immediately split by a manifold into 5 separate 0.75" pipes after exiting the pump. Each 0.75" pipe runs to an outlet at varying lengths from the manifold (15", 37", 52", 89", and 126"). I want to know if my flowrates will drop if I modify this set up so that the 1.5" pipe has a reducer fitting on it to drop the pipe size to 0.75" and then use a tee fitting to branch off an 8" long pipe such that the distance from the end of the branching pipe to the reducer is the same distance as stated before.
(FR = Flow Rate)
