if u r talking about presuure drop then it can be easily calculate with the help of relation 4flv*v/2gd

in that f is the friction factor which is different for vraious type of flow for that u have to search a good book of fluid mechanics, v is the velocity. length of pipe and d is diameter of pipe

Can you calculate pipe diameter if you have pressure head and discharge flow?

Static pressure is .434 X height Example 10 ft x .434 4.34 PSI to prove take 2.31 PSI x 4.34 To find FORCE to need to calculate the diameter of the piping and the height and then the weight of the water inside the pipe


What is the equation for water flow in construction?

the velocity of water flow within a drainage pipe; the equation is V=L/t L= Length t=time. Then the flow rate; Fr=A*V, Where A= sectional area and V = velocity.


What are examples of laminar and turbulent flow?

The Reynolds number, Re = VD/υ, can be used to measure the laminarity of flow. The smaller the Reynolds number, the more laminar the flow. Therefore, to achieve better laminar flow, V and D (velocity of fluid and diameter of pipe) should be small and υ, the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, should be large. Therefore, since pipe diameter and viscosity is fixed in this circumstance, the slower the velocity of the flow, the more laminar the flow. Open the faucet to a small degree and the flow will be laminar. Turn the facet open fully will (for some faucets) cause turbulent flow depending on the maximum velocity of water allowed by the faucet.

Will three quarter inch waterline carry as much water as 2 half inch waterlines?

There are two factors which determine the flow rate of water. Diameter and velocity. Resistance is not needed for determining the size of waterlines to their respective flow rates. Resistance is a component of velocity calculated for determining several aspects such as pump hp, and loss of velocity over a distance. The formula without the resistance component is: Q=Av where: Q=Flow Rate A=Inside pipe area v=velocity Calculate: Q= (3.14XR squared)v lets assume a velocity of 10 inches per minute For 1/2 inch pipe: Q = (3.14 X 1/4" X 1/4")X10 inches per minute Q = 1.96 Cubic inches per minute For 3/4 inch pipe: Q= (3.14 X 3/8" 3/8") X10 inches per minute Q = 4.41 Cubic inches per minute So one 3/4 inch pipe will carry roughly 12% more water than two 1/2 inch pieces.

How do you calculate velocity of water in channel?

You can calculate the velocity of water in a channel using the formula v = Q/A, where v is the velocity, Q is the flow rate of water, and A is the cross-sectional area of the channel through which the water is flowing. By knowing the flow rate and the cross-sectional area of the channel, you can determine the velocity of water.


What is the volume of water in a five inch pipe?

How to calculate velocity in a pipe and what factors should be considered in the calculation?

To calculate velocity in a pipe, you can use the formula: velocity flow rate / cross-sectional area of the pipe. Factors to consider in the calculation include the diameter of the pipe, the type of fluid flowing through it, and any obstructions or bends in the pipe that may affect the flow.


What is the formula to calculate the garden hose flow rate?

The formula to calculate the garden hose flow rate is: Flow rate (Cross-sectional area of the hose) x (Water velocity)


How can one calculate the velocity of water in a pipe?

To calculate the velocity of water in a pipe, you can use the formula: velocity flow rate / cross-sectional area of the pipe. The flow rate can be measured in liters per second or cubic meters per second, and the cross-sectional area is the area of the pipe's opening. By dividing the flow rate by the cross-sectional area, you can determine the velocity of the water flowing through the pipe.


Calculate water flow?

To calculate water flow rate, you need to know the cross-sectional area of the pipe or channel through which the water is flowing, as well as the velocity of the water. The formula for calculating water flow rate is Q = A * V, where Q is the flow rate, A is the cross-sectional area, and V is the velocity of the water. Multiplying the area by the velocity will give you the flow rate.

How do i calculate the speed of water in pipe?

That depends on what information is provided. If you don't have any information, you may actually need to measure the speed of the water; or you may want to measure the flow (for example, in liters per second), and the pipe diameter, and then calculate the speed from that.


How to find the flow rate of a fluid in a pipe?

To find the flow rate of a fluid in a pipe, you can use the formula Q A V, where Q is the flow rate, A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe, and V is the velocity of the fluid. Measure the diameter of the pipe to calculate the area, and measure the velocity of the fluid to plug into the formula.


What are limitations of velocity of flow in a pipeline?

The velocity of flow in any pipe is determined by three things. The internal pipe diameter, the mass flow rate of the liquid and the fluid density.


What is the pipe velocity formula used to calculate the speed of fluid flow within a pipe?

The formula to calculate the velocity of fluid flow within a pipe is V Q/A, where V is the velocity, Q is the flow rate, and A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
