I've been assigned the task of designing a fire suppression system. The biggest problem I have is knowing what my bottle pressure should be when I have multiple lines branching off from the main line. There will be a nozzle at the end of each line that has a maximum specified flow rate. I have...

System has multiple lines connected. I don't know how to calculate what bottle pressure I will need for various lines coming off the bottle with a particular nozzle. Is there any software in the public domain that can calculate what bottle pressure I will need?

How thick can a riveted joint get. Let's say we have 2 aluminum sheets(2024-T3)being riveted with AD5 rivets. Assume both sheets are equal in thickness and thick enough so that we are shear critical. How thick can both sheets get using rivets? If you answer this where can I reference it?
