Bundals of thanks to Mr. Abdul Haleem Galala for hydraulic power.

I have Some more confusions regarding pipe flow and centrifugal pumps

1. How to calculate flow through a branch of pipe if pressure in pipe before branch is known

2. How to calculate NPSH in a closed circuit.

3. What is maximum flow that can be pushed in 1".2".3".4"-------10" pipes for

a) Laminar Flow

b) Turbulat Flow

Dear Mr, Abdul Haleem I am looking forward to listen good answers.

Basically I am working in a plastic industry in the field of maintenance of injection machines and molds, so remain out of touch with projects. but now a days need some calculations to resolve some issues.

JezakALLAH

Use the Darcy-Weisbach generalised flow equation on the downstream pipe.

<...What is maximum flow that can be pushed in 1".2".3".4"-------10" pipes...>

For liquids, keep the velocity below 3m/s. Keep gas flows below 10m/s. If the velocities are higher than this, then increase the pipe size.
