"For the flowrate pumped into the system, you get the pump discharge head from the pump curve. You then should know the flow and pressure at the pump. For each branch end, you must specify either a pressure at the branch end, or a flow from that branch, which will equal the flow in that...
BigInch,
It would seem to me that this should be something that could be done in Excel (hence my initial question not mentioning computer programs). However, my background is Electrical and I'm still learning the mechanical aspect of piping and pumps...which is why I'm having trouble with...
How does one go about modeling system resistance curves for a discharge that branches off into multiple services? Also, if there is a pump recirc line present, how does this get modeled into the system resistance curve?
