Flow through pipes and throttling valves...NEED HELP!
I need some help with a real-life problem
I have an open topped water collection tank at elevation. The water is distributed by gravity flow from the tank via a pipe to a lower elevation. At the point of delivery, the pressure head is 18psi. However I need to deliver the water at the same flow rate that is filling the tank but at a reduced pressure of 7 psi. Can i use a throttling valve to achieve this?
