Pipe Diamter Calculation
Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:27 pm
I have been asked to calculate the following for a friend of mine. Its been a while since I did any physics especialy pipe flow calcs. Maybe somoene can help me out as I could not get the calculator to figure this one out.
A volume of 7.2 cu m of glycerol (0.934 Pa s) is pumped through a 15m length of pipe in 55 min. The pressure at the input end of the pipe is 860 Kpa and the pressure the output end is atmospheric. What is the pipe's radius?
Any help would be much appreciated.
