Subcooled water was flowing through a throttled valve with the following initial parameters:
Inlet pressure = 60 psia
Outlet pressure = 50 psia
Flow rate = 800 gpm
The valve was opened fully and the following parameters currently exist:
Inlet pressure = 60 psia
Outlet pressure = 55 psia
What is the approximate flow rate through the fully open valve?
A. 400 gpm
B. 566 gpm
C. 635 gpm
