@FelixYuHengYang To get you started, the flow rate is 20 L/s divided amongst two tanks. The community will expand the plant in the future to a total of 40 L/s. There is relatively little head. Something like 1-2 meters. I will take photos next week when I am there. But this should be enough to get you started!

What pipe diameter? Is it the same as the ones you've given in fusion 360?

eak24 commented 6 years ago

No, the diameter is 8 inches entering both tanks

FelixYuHengYang commented 6 years ago

Do you know the height of the distribution tank?

eak24 commented 6 years ago

Something like 5-6 feet. Around there.

@ethan92429 Hey Ethan can you approximate what the radius of the distribution tank was? And or the capacity (We can solve for radius based on capacity and vice versa). We are trying to figure out how much the tank would fill if we had a certain leak rate leaking for 8 hours.
