Pressure in a vertical pipe
Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2011 12:30 pm
Hello everybody,
how can I solve the following problem using the "pressure drop and flow calculator"?
I have a water tank with a water column of 50 meter.
At the bottom of the water tank is a straight vertical pipe of 800 meter length with a diameter of 0.3 meter.
Now I want to calculate the flow rate.
The question is what to use as pressure (p1-p2). Do I have a total water column of 850 mWS (50 mWS in the tank + 800 mWS in the vertical pipe) or is it just 50 mWS? Can I use the calculator?
If for example the total water column would be 50 mWS. Would than p1 =50 mWS and p2=0 mWS
Looking forward for any answers! Thank you very much
