The flow rate of water through a 2-inch pipe at 100 psi can be estimated using hydraulic calculations. Generally, a 2-inch pipe can flow around 40-50 gallons per minute (GPM) at that pressure, depending on factors like pipe length, fittings, and friction loss. For precise calculations, it's best to use the Hazen-Williams equation or consult flow tables specific to the pipe material and conditions.
Under 400 GPM at best (without friction)
First you need the size of the pipe and the volume of water supply. Pressure will vary during usage. Standard well system operates between 20-40 psi and city systems operate from 50-70 psi.
To determine the flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) through an 8-inch pipe at 5 psi, you can use the Hazen-Williams equation or empirical formulas for flow in pipes. However, a rough estimate would suggest that at 5 psi, the flow rate would be approximately 600-700 GPM, depending on factors like pipe length, roughness, and fittings. For more accurate calculations, specific hydraulic calculations should be performed.
That would depend on the pressure huh?
100
Yes, easily.
80 gpm
A pipe that is 10 inch would have the velocity of 2.75 feet. This is 2.75 feet with 722 GPM.
It would 2.75 feet with a 10 inch pipe. It would be 2.75 feet with a volatility of 722 GPM.
you need to know the viscosity of the liquid - molasses or alcohol?

To find the maximum flow you would need to know the maximum pressure. A typical fire nozzle pressure would be up to 100 psi with a diameter of 1 to 1.25 inches. The GPM would be between 300 GPM and 460 GPM through the nozzle. If it were simply a 3-inch pipe with an oversized pump, running at 100 psi with no nozzle, you could (in theory) move over 3,000 GPM through the pipe (ignoring friction loss). Even at 80 psi, a master stream through a 2-inch nozzle moves over 1,000 GPM.

The standard formula to calculate flow(GPM - gallons per minute) from a CIRCULAR orifice is:29.7 * (the square root of the pressure) * (the square of the diameter of the flow orifice)EXAMPLE using 3/4" Pex Pipe(actual I.D. of 3/4 PEX Pipe is .677") and 40 PSI pressure:29.7 * 6.325(sq. root of 40) * .458(the square of the I.D. 3/4" pipe) =A GPM of 86.03Note: You also need to account for fittings in the loss calculations; while minimal several fitting will make a difference.
