network scope estimate

[herbie]

Hello, everyone!
I am facing the following problem:
estimate water flow with network pressure.
In practice I have to dimension a lung tank (smaller possible) that assures me of the necessary delta between flow eleborate from the pump and network flow.
the adduction pipe should be 1 inch and I can't do empirical evidence.
I tried to get the speed with bernoulles applied between two hypothetical sections and making assumptions that do not convince me.
Do you have ideas?
Thank you.

Maybe if you put a scheme in the system, it wouldn't be bad!
What are you talking about?

I used to do this kid thing.
the flow rate was hypothesized by applying a fluid speed of 1 meter per second naturally applied to the useful section of the pipe.
this because above this speed you have very high load losses (pressure).
this applies to water or fluids having the same viscosity.
other thing to consider is the presence of differences that bring losses or gains in pressure terms equal to 1 bar every 10 meters of altitude difference.

thank you first for the answers!
Unfortunately, I don't have any plans. I am designing a washing plant for components and the only data relating to the water supply is testally ".boh.. which will be 2 bars!"so the rest I evo hypothesize.
then the network will feed me the lung tank with valve and floating control sensors.
I do not have to design a water system but use it with the constraint to minimize the lung tank and without being able to do tests.
I don't say anymore because I don't have any other data and that's why I was looking for an idea.
Maybe others had happened!

x maxopus - thanks for the advice..I will try with 1m/s. There are no differences in my system worthy of note.
then once completed, the plant will be positioned and someone will power it with water, air and run the electrical connection.
