    Hello everyone! I have a well pump that can generate -0.5barg on its suction side. I am intending to use this pump to suck water out from a tank. The pump is located 3m above the top water level. I want to get some advice on the sizing of the pipe from the tank to the pump. 1) can I just size...

    Friction loss k value

    Hello Guys, I have a submerged channel with several openings in between. Would like to check if I can calculate the loss through the openings using k-value=2.6 of submerged orifice. So for the example shown below, the loss would be n*k*(v^2)/(2g) = 3*2.6*(v^2)/(2g). What are your thoughts...
