Hi Can anyone tell me where I can find a graphic with the heat transfer coefficient for a steel cylindrical tank?

thanks for the advice BigInch

Hi, I understand what you are saying I was just curious as to how I would solve this if I did not have the data I have. My system is not actually Y shaped, there is a main pipe that disctributes flow, to, lets say, an n number of pipes, which in turn discharge into a tank: _______<---------...

Biginch, thanks for the website. You said in a previous post that if I were yo use the Hardy Cross method to solve this problem, I would have to create a virtual or pseudo loop. It was my understanding that you create pseudo loops to join two fixed grade nodes. I dont know if that would apply to...

Sounds pretty logical BigInch. That's what I'm going to do, thanks.

Thanks for your input and the webpage desertfox.

I'm not comparing voltage to pressure, I'm comparing voltage to total energy of the fluid, which is given by the equation (P/density)+((V^2)/2g

Desertfox I really dont think the pressures on all 3 pipes are the same, because the bigger pipe has a bigger diameter than the other 2, so according to the Bernoulli equation, there should be a bigger pressure and a smaller velocity on bigger pipe than on the other 2. All 33 pipes have the...

In a current divider electrical circuit with, let's say 2 resistor in parallel, we have 3 different currents: I1=I2+I3 I1 is the total current I2 is the current that passes through resistor 2 I3 is the current that passes through resistor 3 In this type of electrical circuit, the voltage is...

I see your point desertfox, I think that would make sense if the 3 pipes were in series and they are not in series. There is a main pipe and there are the other 2 parallel pipes, that is why I was comparing this system to a current (in this case, flow) divider circuit where the voltage (total...

_______ : : : : : : I have a main pipe that's divided into 2 branches. All 3 pipes have the same elevation. I have a manometer on each one of the smaller pipes, so I know the pressure there, plus I know the velocity of the fluid on the smaller pipes and on the main pipe. But I'd...
