Hey Guys,
i have a system that I'm pumping with water/ saline. as illustrated below.
At the inflow i hooked up a pressure gage to my pump and read 120mmHg (closed system), and at the outflow I am reading 400ml/min ( I did this by disconnecting the system and timed filling a beaker). I'm trying to work out what the relative flow rate,pressure and velocity of the water/saline will be in the 6mm ID and 10mm ID tubes respectively.
Do i have enough information to do this? I think i need to hook my pressure gage up to the outflow and calculate the head drop across the system, but I'm not so sure.
Thanks for any help, i didn't take any fluid mechanics modules in college.
