Hi Guys,

 

I know my question may be fairly easy for the professionals, but I would like to pose this topic and see how it goes.

 

The Problem:

 

Say I have a centrifugal pump the pumps water to a open tank that is 4"dia x 5m height.

 

And I will need to tap a 2"dia pipe to its discharge pipe line (not necessarily near the pump) to divert the flow to a pit.

 

How will I know the flow in the 2"dia pipe?

 

The pump has a nameplate that reads Q= 50LPS, H= 40m, N= 1760rpm

 

(I don't think that there is a need for a sketch since it is a simple system)

 

Thank you very much for your replies

 

Kind regards,

Ericson

You will have to calculate it.  If you have a question on your calculations, please ask, but, do not expect us to do your work.

 

I suggest starting with a detailed, dimensioned sketch.

A "tank" that is 4" (4 inches) in diameter x 5 meters tall is not a tank.  It is a joke.

 

Please explain your basic data accurately and in detail - as Latexman recommends - and you will get serious and accurate responses.

I'm really sorry about this, Let me post a new thread with a more detailed explanation of the problem.

And also with my current calculation, (to which I am unsure of).

Hope someone can help.

 

Thank you all.

 

Kind Regards,

Eric
