I have an application as follows:
I have positive displacement pump 1 that is pumping at around 6 BPM ( through a 4" pipe) at pressure P1. There is another smaller positive displacement pump 2 that is pumping at around 0.8 BPM ( through a 1" pipe) at pressure P2. These 2 fluids mix at a point and are discharged to a open tank ( atmospheric pressure). I would like to know the pressure at the mixing point Pm. Is there any empirical formula that i can use to determine the pressure at point Pm? Any guidance is very much appreciated. see attached for clarity
