Hello!
1. Homework Statement
Symbols and variables:
##\dot{V}## : flow rate
##H## : Hydraulic head
##g = 9.81 \frac{N}{kg}##
##P_{atmosphere} = 101325Pa##
##\rho = 1000\frac{kg}{m^3}##
I am given a piping system, with serie and parallel pipes, they start from one point and go back into one point.
I need to plot the hydraulic head (the medium in the piping system is water at 20°C, and the local flow loses are negligible) in function of the flow rate, for ##H(\dot{V}=0 \frac{m^3}{s})## to ##H(QMax)##.
With ##QMax## the flow rate where the hydraulic head is 3 times the hydraulic head by zero flow.
The question:
In my instruction paper:
$$H = \frac{P_{In} - P_{atmosphere}}{g\rho}$$
Further the mechanical equation out of my syllabi:
$$H_1 - H_2 = R\dot{V}$$
In appendix.
I also includes a plot from what I think the solution is. (hydraulic head in function of flow rate)
But what i don't understand, how can (according to my solution) the hydraulic head be negative.
Does someone know how or knows a resource.
Thanks in advance,
Good day!

The question:
- How can I calculate the hydraulic head by zero flow
- How can I calculate the maximal flow rate
