Flow Rate Through a Manifold
Flow Rate Through a Manifold
(OP)
Hi
I want to select a pump for a quenching tank that has an intake manifold with 12 smaller pipe inlets to the tank. The flow rate required at the discharge is 170 m3/h, two pumps are being used with one in standby. Is it possible to calculate the flow rate for each small pipe on its own or is it sufficient to assume that the flow through each pipe will be the same 170/12 = 14.167 m3/h?
Thank you

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
