Thanks for your response. This analysis is for a one time event where I need to approximate flow rates to each branch to the best of my knowledge. Unfortunately, I am not in possession of the faulty valve in question but must somehow estimate a reasonable minor head loss. This doesn't have to...
Hello,
I am working on a problem where I'm trying to approximate the minor head loss in a scenario where one branch includes a mostly-closed globe valve. I say "mostly-closed" because there is an obstruction keeping the valve-seat from being fully engaged with the valve plate. I can't find...
First, thank you all for assisting me with this problem. To clarify, I am not a student in an introductory fluids course, but in my current job I don't see many problems like these and it's been too long since I've been out of school. Anyway, this proposed problem makes much more sense to me...
I am working on a fluid mechanics problem within a piping system and could use a little help:
There is a piping system that starts as a singular line and then branches out into two lines (equal pipe sizes). I have a known initial flowrate; and I realize that (assuming incompressible flow) the...
