Head loss equaling head pressure?

KrisOhn · Oct 10, 2015

If you had a fluid in a pipe, with say, 10m of head pressure, what would happen when the head losses of the pipe equaled the head pressure?

Any ideas? Maybe a moderator could move this to a more appropriate forum if necessary?

I believe you get a constant flow rate.

You normally only get a pressure loss in a pipe when there is some flow (As I recall pressure loss is roughly proportional to fluid velocity squared). So a pressure drop of 10m head of water would occur at some velocity of water specific to that pipe.
