Regarding the traffic issue, I would appreciate some advice from those who are more experienced

There is a ball valve with a diameter of 1 inch; the operating temperature is 500°C, the working pressure is 27 MPa, and the medium is water. Is it possible to calculate the flow rate? Thank you.
This can be calculated only by providing the pressure difference before and after the ball valve
What’s the use of calculating flow rate? You don’t know that the pressure difference before and after the valve cannot be calculated.
A pressure difference is required; both temperature and pressure are very high, so conventional experience regarding flow rates cannot be applied.
A pipe with a diameter of 1 inch, operating at 27 MPa and at 500°C – that’s too high. Where would one use such pipes?
The pressure difference is the driving force for the flow of the medium; by the way, is it a sealed water pipeline?
The pressure is high enough; won’t it cause the pipes to burst?
I think to calculate flow rate, it’s not enough to just know the pressure difference; one should also be aware of the pressure drop over a certain length, or the hydraulic gradient
Your requirements aren’t sufficient; it’s hard to figure out how to proceed, it’s a bit tricky
1-inch ball valve. The pressure at 27 – experts, I’ve never seen such a situation; usually we increase the pipe diameter.
Is there something wrong with the claim about the 11th floor? For pipes with the same wall thickness, the smaller the diameter, the greater the pressure-bearing capacity, right?
