How to calculate
Thread Content
The manager asked me to calculate the flow rate and pipe diameter for the utility systems. I can handle the pipe diameter; how do I calculate the flow rate? (I know the pipe diameter, medium, and pressure); I will let you know. Thanks, ha
Hagen–Poiseuille equation
How is traffic calculated? (Given pipe diameter, medium, and pressure) Find the flow velocity for common media, then determine the cross-sectional area of the pipe using the diameter; multiplying these two values gives the result. For example, in the case of a pipe with a diameter of DN200 and water as the fluid, the flow rate can be 1.5 m/s. The volume flow rate is calculated using the formula V=π/4×D^2×U×3600 (m3/h), which gives a value of 170 m3/h
Usually, the flow rate should be determined first, and then the pipe diameter is calculated from that flow rate.
Medium flow velocity, cross-sectional area in the pipe, Bernoulli’s equation!
The “flow equation” can be found in Principles of Chemical Engineering.
You are in the utility sector; the flow rate is determined by the maximum load required for production
For the fluid, a certain flow velocity is first set, then the flow rate is calculated using the trial-and-error method, and finally the Reynolds number is determined. For specific details, refer to Principles of Chemical Engineering.
