Hi all,
This is probably nauseatingly simple but I'm struggling to get my head round it and would very much appreciate assistance!
I'm building a filter system for a rather ambitious desert pool project and I'm having difficulty predicting the pressure in the pump/pipe network. I've been trawling the internet for a few hours but remain thoroughly confused.
I am trying to work out the necessary pump pressure (psi) to create a flow rate of 3000lts/h through a pipe of 1.25" diameter. I'm no great mathematician but I've been playing with Bernoulli's equation, unfortunately I only seem to be able to calculate pressure change, rather than pressure based on flow rate and constriction.
I have a feeling I am making a conceptual error of epic proportions! Would someone be kind enough to point out where I'm going wrong?
Thanks!
