How is the diameter of an unpressurized flow pipeline determined? With a flow rate of 50,000 tons per day, and fill factors of 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 respectively, for gravity flow, what should be the pipe diameters and how should the calculations be carried out? Thank you@
It depends on the height difference between the inlet and outlet of the pipe as well as the pipe resistance.
For this kind of gravity flow, it is necessary to refer to Volume 1 of the Water Supply and Drainage Design Manual, which contains the specific calculation methods.
