Brings back memories. The memories when I learned nothing from classes and everything from the textbooks, because profs were busy teaching superficial knowledge that you can be tested on rather than actual useful and often fun knowledge

If i have a 200l head looking to transport the water 50m in a 2.5cm diameter pvc to a 250cm rise at the end. How tall does my head have to be to passively push the water? Aka i have a water barrel at the barns eves trough, and want to fill 4 IBC containers stacked 2 high. In the field.

Can you share the volume flow rate you can feed? This is very important.

Oh you want more math? On the high end 162mm/hr on my 6x12m roof would be dumped into the head

For practical purposes, Hazen–Williams equation can be used for this instance. I found head loss (which is the term that total mechanical energy that is lost due to friction; measured by length) as 2,5 meters. With the initial height of 2,5 m you mentioned; 5 meters tall of a head is needed. You can check my math if you want. Sorry for the late response.

Late response? I have been playing with this for 3 months lol You kinda confirmed what i thought my head needs to be larger/ taller than my water collection. I might need to use a a jet pump which i can i was just hoping to not worry about more complicated machines

Feel free to reach up when you’ll go with a pump. We can make the right choice for your case.
