Here’s what I am learning about Flow

Flow is dependent on both the size of the pipe and the velocity of the item.
Is Clemson’s California pipeline only big enough for 1 5* talent right now? If so, that’s still a pretty impressive size pipe that has been run all the way across the US the last few years!

You want to see an impressive sized pipe?***

Me and Dabo aren’t close enough for me to confirm pipe sizes

Do What? I don't even know what that means.

It would be impractical to build a pipeline from California to South Carolina with a single pump at only one end. So what you would need to do is design inline pumping stations along the route to boost the pressure and keep it 'Flowing'. So if you're pumping a fuel product, you could pull some of the product out of the pipeline to provide an energy souce to the boosting stations. If you're pumping a non-fuel product, you're going to need an external energy source to power the boosting stations. There's no analogy between this and Clemson football recruiting, but it's an interesting problem for a Clemson mechanical engineering student to solve over the Christmas holidays. Merry Christmas!

I'm glad to hear that there's at least one intelligent person on this site.

Why use a mechanical engineer to solve an easy chemical engineering problem? Yes, I am 1975 Chem E grad.

You ChE's need to stay in your corner. Sizing pipes and pumps to move fluids is clearly for ME's to figure out.

I learned that tension in the wall of the pipe is proportional to the radius to the 4th power. Smaller pipes are less likely to burst.

no. Stress is proportional to the radius. Yes pipe size matters but with the same pressure the stress in an 8" pipe is twice the stress in a 4" pipe so the force is twice as much with the same wall thickness.

That’s in a non-distensible tube. I should clarify I meant a distensible tube. In medicine, that’s what I deal with. (Arteries/veins).

Actually you are talking about flowrate or rate of flow, and not flow. Also, the flowrate is dependent on the size of pipe only if the pipe is flowing full.
