Calculating diameter of vertical pipe
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 2:29 pm
Ok I have been given the task of figuring out this equation and need some help.
The principle is that a fulid or solid particls fall vertically through a detector.
The length of the drop is 0.962 m.
The flow rate is 30,000 puonds.hour
bulk density is 40 pounds per cubic foot.
I am given A = [0.024*Flowrate]/Bulkdensity. to calculate the diameter of the pipe.
the velocity from drop is 4.34ms^-1
There can be a coefficent of friction on the pipe of 0.2
Any Ideas were this has come from? 0.024???
