Hello,
We are designing a new AC piping system that uses ethylene glycol chiller fluid that can go down to 8-degrees Fahrenheit.
I need to compute a friction loss factor to adjust the piping system head loss assuming water is the fluid to the actual head loss for ethylene glycol.
I found that...
Hello,
I have two parallel pumps: pump-1 has a 32-gpm flowrate and pump-2 has a 96-gpm flowrate. These two pumps feed into a loop that has a 128-gpm flowrate and 58-ft of head loss.
How much headloss do I use from the 128-gpm loop for each of these pumps for pump sizing?

Hello,
I am looking for FEA software to help model a pipe-to-vessel interface.
As displayed in the attached drawing, the pipe has two 90-degree bends shortly before interfacing the pressure vessel. The pipe/vessel interface is supported with a 24"x24" and 3/16" thick plate. The piping fluid...
