    Combing flows before pumping

    Thks for your comments. I am yet to check the effectiveness of in-line mixers under gravity flow, and with varying mix ratios. Aside from the getting adequate mixing - one scenario may have my water tank significantly elevated above my slurry tank. How will the difference in heads affect the...

    Combing flows before pumping

    I have two tanks, one with slurry, one with water. I wish to combine the fluids and feed a single centrifugal pump. The slurry flowrate is fixed, while water is added at a particular ratio to bring the mixture temperature and density below a set value. (Ratio is normally around 4 parts water to...

    Flow through RO plate

    Hi all I have a water tank fed by a centrifugal pump. In the line between the pump and the tank inlet is an RO plate. I know the orifice diameter, and have all the pump data, line sizes, etc. How do I find what the flow rate into the tank will be? All the orifice calculations I come across...

    Volume from pressure drop during hydrotest

    Who said anything about this hydrotest being valid or acceptable? ;) In the real world, tests do sometimes fail. The formula I was chasing was to give a basic understanding of the severity of the failure. Cheers for all your replies guys.

    Volume from pressure drop during hydrotest

    Where do I get the compressibility factor? I know that if the line has air in it the calculation will be out, but I am only after a rough estimate, so will assume the line contains only water. Thanks

    Volume from pressure drop during hydrotest

    Hello Wondering if there is a quick formula to calculate volume of water lost from a pipeline under hydrostatic test, given a known drop in pressure and total volume in system. Test medium is water. Thanks
