    Need Advice on Fluid System Flow Calc

    The other pipes near D are all the same as D. They get the same flow rate as D, same pressure (well, close to it as the line lengths are slightly different), etc. I had already used Colebrook White and the Power Law to calculate pressure drop in all of the lines at set flow rates. I have used...

    Need Advice on Fluid System Flow Calc

    Hmm, I never considered using the suction of the pump in this calculation and did not think it would be necessary....The pump is capable of -12.3 psi suction, however we are positively feeding the pump with gravity and a vertical auger in the mixer. After the pump I would not think the suction...

    Need Advice on Fluid System Flow Calc

    Hey everyone, I have been working with this fluid system where we are pumping a thixotropic slurry with a positive displacement pump at a known flow rate (Qa) through a section of tubing up to a tee (B). The flow rates I see us working in yield a Re < 2300 so I am assuming we are laminar. At...
