Liquid Flow Calculation in 30ft System with Various Valve Sizes

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating liquid flow rates in a 30-foot system with a 2-gallon container and various valve sizes. The system consists of a 1.25" ID tube for 14 feet, a 1.00" ID tube for 10 feet, and eight valves with a 0.75" ID. The primary questions addressed are the flow rates at one opening when all valves are opened versus when only one valve is opened, emphasizing the impact of valve size on flow dynamics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Familiarity with flow rate calculations
  • Knowledge of pipe sizing and pressure drop concepts
  • Experience with hydraulic systems and valve operations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Bernoulli's Equation for flow rate calculations"
  • Explore "Flow rate calculations for different valve sizes"
  • Study "Pressure drop calculations in piping systems"
  • Learn about "Hydraulic modeling software for system analysis"
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, fluid dynamics specialists, and anyone involved in designing or analyzing hydraulic systems will benefit from this discussion.

An entire system is filled with liquid.
At the top (30 feet) is a 2 gallon container,
connected to a tube (1.25" ID) for 14 feet,
connected to a tube (1.00" ID) for 10 feet,
then split with tees to 8 valves (.75" ID) and tubing (1.00" ID).

=O=O=O=O= valves

(sorry, the diagram on paper looks a lot better)

What is the flow rate at one opening if all valves are opened?
what is the flow rate at one opening is one valve is opened?

is it an assignment , obviously it looks like an asignment
