I'm looking for help with a flow in parallel pipe problem:
3 pipes in parallel, all 1000ft in length.
Pipe 1=1" dia at 20ft
Pipe 2=3" dia at 10ft
Pipe 3=2" dia at 0ft
A 6" dia pipe with 1000 gpm flow feeds into the 3 parallel pipes. I need flow in each pipe. All pipes are sch 40.
I've tried using: h=(f(L/D))* V2/2g but the values seem too small.
According to Qtot= Q1+Q2+Q3, The sum of the 3 pipes should equal 1000 gpm. I'm not even close. What am I doing wrong?
