Liquid Flow Calculation in 30ft System with Various Valve Sizes

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating liquid flow rates in a 30-foot system with various valve sizes and tubing diameters. The system consists of a 2-gallon container at the top, connected to a series of tubes leading to multiple valves. Key questions include determining the flow rate at one opening when all valves are opened versus when only one valve is opened. The complexity arises from the different diameters of the tubing and valves, which affect the overall flow dynamics. Accurate calculations are essential for understanding system performance and efficiency.

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?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
is it an assignment , obviously it looks like an asignment
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
