Best Answer

The nominal pipe size is closest to the inside diameter; however, for exact calculations both should be looked up in a table based on the scheduled pipe size.

What is viscous flux?

Viscous flux usually refers to laminar flow. In most contexts, it refers to something like creeping flow or Poiseuille flow. Viscous flus usually arises from an external body force acting on a fluid. The external body force is usually pressure, or in some instances, centripetal force or magnetism.


What are process parameters?

A process parameter refers to the current status of a procedure under control. It is also known as a process variable or process value.


What is mean by bromination process?

Bromination refers to any reaction which introduces a bromine atom into a compound Halogenation is a chemical reaction that incorporates a halogen atom into a molecule. More specific descriptions exist that specify the type of halogen: fluorination, chlorination, bromination, and iodination.


What is oil thermal power plant?

The oil thermal plant refers to the chemical energy that is stored in the fossil fuel like the natural gas, oil shale, fuel oil, and coal. They are usually successively converted into thermal energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy.


What is the difference between activation polarization and concentration polarization?

Activation polarization refers to a condition when the reaction rate (of oxidation or reduction) is controlled by the slowest "step" in a series of reaction steps. For example, in hydrogen reduction reaction, the first step (1) may be when hydrogen ions absorbed from solution onto the anode surface, (2) then electron transfer occurs from anode to the hydrogen ions to form hydrogen, (3) then the hydrogen elements form hydrogen gas molecules, (4) which then form hydrogen gas bubbles. The slowest of these 4 steps, dictates how fast the overall reduction reaction happens. Concentration polarization refers to a condition of the limits of diffusion. Basically, again referring to the hydrogen reduction reaction, the concentration of H+ ions around the cathode affects the reaction rate. It could be that the concentration is too high (there is plently of H+ ions around, or the concentration is too low (not enough H+ ions around or the reduction reaction is 'eating them up' too quickly).

What is the inside diameter of 0.75 inch pipe?

Three-quarter inch diameter pipe refers to the outside diameter. Different pipe types of the same outside diameter usually have different inside diameters. ASTM SCH 40 pipe of 3/4 inch diameter has an inside diameter of 0.824 inches. ASTM CL 200 pipe of 3/4 inch diameter has an inside diameter of 0.930 inches because of the thinner wall.


What is the meaning of DN symbol in DN100?

DN is an acronym for Diameter Normal that refer to metric designations of pipes that conform to the International Standards Organisation (ISO). DN100 refers to a pipe with a Diameter Normal of 100 mm and a Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) of 4 inches.Answer:Actually the N means nominal. Because the actual size of the pipe is nowhere what the nominal size is.

How many sides to a circle?

This can be a tricky question. When speaking of polygons like a square or trapezoid, "sides" refers to linear, perimeter edges, with a square having four. However, if it refers to boundaries such as inside and outside, a circle has an interior (inside) and exterior (outside) and has 2 sides by that reference.
