Flow Pipe Pressure

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the pressure at the end of a 2" PVC pipe with a flow rate of 14 gpm over a 35-foot run, one must consider both static and dynamic pressures. Static pressure at the end of an open pipe is zero, but dynamic pressure can be determined using the flow rate and pipe characteristics. The friction loss in the pipe due to the flow must also be calculated to find the pressure drop. Using the Hazen-Williams equation or Darcy-Weisbach equation can help in determining the pressure loss due to friction. Understanding these calculations is essential for accurate pressure assessment at the pipe's endpoint.

I am trying to learn how to calculate pressure at the end of a pipe. The pipe is 2" PVc and has a flow rate of 14 gpm at teh end of a 35' run from the pump. How do I calculate pressure at this point?

What kind of pressure? Static pressure at the end of an open pipe is zero.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
