Estimating pressure downstream a needle valve
Estimating pressure downstream a needle valve
(OP)
Hello,
I've been wondering whether estimating the pressure downstream a needle valve is possible, with given data.
I've attached the schematic to this post.
The fluid is lubricating oil, and the pipe material is SS with SCH 10s.
Since the valve is manually operated, I'm finding a way to model the effect challenging.
Can you help me with that?
Roberto

The sketch didn't have enough hope to solve it.

Once you have Cv, you can calculate the pressure drop. Here's some more information on Cv https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient.
