Thanks guys,
my further calculations show that a little less than an inch diameter is the break-even point where the friction losses are canceled by gravity on the column, and the thing still flows at 11 gpm without any head. I assume no trough (just a small high-pressure pipe dumping into a...
Hello all,
I am designing a drain system to handle a failure of a 5 to 11 gal/min 100 degF water line rupture. The trough is to be shallow (perhaps 6 in max) and must not overflow. There is no pump, just gravity to drain the 6 ft, vertical pipe with maybe one or two 45 deg bends and is smooth...
