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?

is it an assignment , obviously it looks like an asignment
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
