Pipe Flow Calculations Forum

How do I calculate what the suction force in kilo pascals would be on a piece of pipe in order to determine which wall thicness would be able to sustain the suction pressure. Now, if I drill this suction piece full of small holes, how would this affect the strenght of the suction piece. How would I ...

I am designing a floating suction inlet pipe. The required flow rate is 1050 cubic meters per hour. The total length of the suction pipe is 20m. The suction piece will be a pipe section in which many small holes, say 8mm diameter is drilled. Will it be correct to argue that the total cross sectional...
