Restriction Orifice Sizing Liquid

This document provides calculations to size a liquid orifice plate for a vacuum ringwater pump recirculation tag number RO15804. It details the process conditions including a flow rate of 20 gpm, inlet pressure of 87 psig, discharge pressure of 1 psig, internal pipe diameter of 1 inch, and fluid properties. Calculations are shown to determine the Reynolds number, sizing factor, initial beta value, and iterative process to recalculate beta until convergence is reached. The final orifice size is determined to be 0.375 inches.
