Maximum flow through a pipe
Maximum flow through a pipe
(OP)
Hi,
I apologize in advance for my cluelessness about fluid mechanics. I have a spray testing assembly, where each nozzle requires a certain flow rate (20 gal/hr). I am trying to figure out what the largest number of nozzles I can put on the assembly, therefore, what is the maximum flow rate that I can get in my pipe, assuming that the maximum water pressure is 60 psi coming into the 3/4" pipe. Also, water pressure in the assembly has to maintain at least 10 psi. I could not find an equation to solve for this. Can anyone tell me if there is more information that I need and how to solve for this?
Thank you so much!
