Need to assess the backpressure
I have a pipe header of 100 mm. Branch 1 supplies 42 GPM of water at 2 Kg/cm2 pressure through 65 mm dia pipe.

Branch 2 supplies 13 GPM of water at 1.5 Kg/cm2 pressure through 40 mm dia pipe

Branch 3 supplies 5 GPM of water at 0 Kg/cm2 pressure ( Free flowing water that is exposed to atmosphere falls into the pipe ) through 32 mm dia pipe

All the branches are connected to a header of 100 mm.

As the water coming from different branches at different pressures , will there be any back flow observed in branch 2 and branch 3 as they are at less pressure compared to Branch 1.

RE: Need to assess the backpressure

What's going on in the header?
