What else can I help you with?
Why is excessive water pressure to residential homes objectionable?
Excessive pressure may damage pipe joints and internal parts of cheap faucets. The old PolyB pipe is very susceptible to breaking under excess pressure. In most cases, I see no reason for house pressure to be in excess of 50 psi.
When dealing with water pressure there is no head unless the pipe is blocked off right?
If water is flowing through pipe, no head pressure can build up. Blocking off flow of water will create head pressure in pipe as long as pipe is vertical. A vertical column of water creates head pressure.
What is the effect on velocity and pressure if a liquid flows in a convergent pipe?
I think velocity is directly proportionate to its applying pressure.
What is the effect of UV radiation of sun on PVC pipes and how to protect the pipe from the UV radiation?
The only effect the sun has on PVC pipes is the impact strength of the pipe will be decreased and there will be some discoloration. The tensile strength and pressure strength of the pipe will not be effected. The best way to protect the pipe is to paint it with a water based latex light colored paint.
How much water can go through a 1inch pipe?
depends on the pressure pushing through the pipe
Why the effect of leakage of water at the pipe joints on the pressure?
Leakage of water at pipe joints can reduce the pressure in the system because it allows water to escape before it reaches its intended destination. This means the force propelling the water through the pipe is reduced, leading to a drop in pressure. Additionally, the leakage creates inefficiencies in the system, requiring more energy to maintain the desired pressure levels.
Why do we observe fountains of water coming out of the leaking joints or holes in pipes supplying water?
Water fountains from leaking joints or holes in pipes happen due to the pressure within the pipe. When there is a leak, the water under pressure escapes through the opening, creating the fountain effect. The size of the leak and pressure inside the pipe determine the height and strength of the water fountain.
Why is a fountain of water seen rising out of a leaky pipe?
The water in your pipes is under pressure so that it comes out of the tap when you turn it on. If there is a hole in the pipe (i.e. a leak) then the water will come out under pressure, the same as if you turned on your tap - if this hole faces upwards then there will be a jet or water like a fountain. The height of this jet is dependant upon the pressure of the water

When the pump is not running what is the water pressure at the output pipe of the pump?
When the pump is not running, the water pressure at the output pipe of the pump will be equal to the static pressure of the water source acting on the pipe. This static pressure varies depending on the elevation and depth of the water source.

If water is flowing through pipe, no head pressure can build up. Blocking off flow of water will create head pressure in pipe as long as pipe is vertical. A vertical column of water creates head pressure.
Does decreasing pipe diameter increase water pressure?
No. Pascal's Principle states that a pressure applied to a fluid system at rest is felt throughout the entire system. This means that, regardless of pipe diameter, city pressure is felt everywhere. Decreasing pipe diameter will only reduce the flow rate of the water, due to more head loss when the water moves.
What is the effect on velocity and pressure if a liquid flows in a convergent pipe?
I think velocity is directly proportionate to its applying pressure.
Will water flow out of a pipe if the pipe is covered with water?
Yes, as long as the water coming out of the pipe has a greater pressure than the water that is covering the pipe. If it is the other way around, the water covering the pipe will actually flow into the pipe. Think about it. It just makes sense.
When water moves from large pipe to small size pipe then what will be the pressure?
The pressure will rise, but you haven't given us anyvolume or pressure figures to begin with .

What condition necessary for the sustained flow of water in a pipe?
negative pressure is needed for a sustained flow of water in a pipe.
