    T-fitting after pump - Calculating flowrates

    I actually disagree with the basis of why you cannot use the bernoulli equation in this way. After talking with one of our senior engineers. He told me my calculation is correct ecept from I have neglected friction losses, and viscous forces. Even though it gives a good estimate, and that is the...

    T-fitting after pump - Calculating flowrates

    It is a glued George Fisher tee that has H20 flowing through it. Building tests are expensive in our system, so a calculation we can trust can save us some money. I think now that I have used bernoulli the wrong way. Bernoulli should be used in the following method i think: P1......(the rest...

    T-fitting after pump - Calculating flowrates

    There is a flowmeter after the pump. From the pump curve, we can see the pressure P1 also

    T-fitting after pump - Calculating flowrates

    I could clarify a few things. The t-pipe and resulting pipes are symmetrical. 3DDave (Aerospace)18 Dec 23 22:58 At the middle of the T there is only one pressure. How will the pressure be different? - It makes sense that the pressure inside the t-piece will be equal, but how can I calculate...

    T-fitting after pump - Calculating flowrates

    I have some sensitive IPR in my sketch, but I created another. What I am really wondering about is: During constant flow, will P1,2 and P3,4 be different? I have taken the pump pressure 141,7 kPa and added the pressure above atmospheric from each chamber to P1,2 and P3,4. P1,2= 144,6 kPa and...

    T-fitting after pump - Calculating flowrates

    Hi! We are planning a process system. There will be a t-fitting after a water pump with a known flowrate. After this, there will be a t-piece going to two different chambers with slightly different air pressure. I have calculated the difference in flowrate on both ends after the t-piece...
