Can I increase flow rate of a fluid by increasing pipe diameter for a transfer line? If so, how do I calculate it?

what are you trying to calculate? The flow? The diameter? Some other property of the material (not water)? Are you restricted to fluids and if yes how different and in what way different from water should your fluid be? – ZeroTheHero Jun 09 '17 at 21:41

@ZeroTheHero I think the OP thinks in fluids. He wants to know, how changes the flow rate with the increased pipe diameter. This question is clear to me. – peterh Jun 09 '17 at 23:11

@peterh you could be right... why the "not water"? – ZeroTheHero Jun 09 '17 at 23:52

@ZeroTheHero Yes. Maybe the question could be edited to remove this. – peterh Jun 10 '17 at 00:02

@nikkimarie I think it doesn't really matter if the fluid is water or not. I edited the water part out of your question, is it so okay? – peterh Jun 10 '17 at 00:04

@peterh hopefully you edit still captures the essence of the original question... – ZeroTheHero Jun 10 '17 at 00:13

Is the imposed pressure drop the same in both cases? – Chet Miller Jun 10 '17 at 01:10

Refer Moody's chart. – Deep Jun 10 '17 at 04:09
