University of Nairobi Finding the Max Pressure Needed for Water to Flow Paper

/in /by

The water slide is 50 feet above the pump station and there are two 10-inch PVC pipes that run water to the waterslide.

Determine:

  • The max pressure needed for water to flow to the waterslide (in psi and Pa).
  • The velocity of the flow (in ft/s and m/s) in the pipe.
  • The Reynolds numbers in the pipe.
  • The total flow rate of water going to the waterslide (in gpm and m3/s).
  • Is the calculated max pressure ok with max rated pressure?
