The volume flow rate can be evaluated recognizing that the volume of the paraboloid of revolution is 1/2 times the base times the height, which leads to the Hagen–Poiseuille equation of laminar flow through pipes (Schlichting, 1979) as follows: (3.9)Q=π2R2um=πR48μl(p1−p2) Equatio...
It is shown that the exact solution of a linearized version of the governing equation can be presented in terms of the Whittaker function. A finite difference scheme is used to produce an approximate solution of the linearized problem. The numerical solution is shown to be a good approximation ...
Depending upon the Reynolds number, flow-through pipes will fall in one of these three flow regimes. Let us first examine the concepts of the Reynolds number. Sometimes anR valueof 2100 is used as the limit of laminar flow. Using customary units in the pipeline industry, the Reynolds number...
Example 1:A round pipe has a diameter of 25 mm and water is running through it with a velocity of 10 m/s. What is the flow rate of the water? First, we calculate the cross-section area to be (25/2)^2 · 3.1416 ~= 490.875 mm2via thearea of a circle formula. We can convert ...

The Pipe Flow Gas Flow Rate App calculates the flow rate in a pipe that occurs for a given pressure difference between the start of the pipe and end of the pipe (the available pressure difference) using Compressible Isothermal Flow equations (including the General Fundamental Flow equation, Compl...

a mass on a spring and a roller coaster in a loop. Water in a pipe is a conservation of energy problem too. In fact, that's exactly how mathematician Daniel Bernoulli approached the problem in the 1700s. Using Bernoulli's equation, calculate the flow of water through a pipe based on ...
