A pipe with a 16 in. diameter carries water having a velocity of 3 ft/s. What is the discharge in cfs and in gpm?
If water at 180°F is flowing with a velocity of 4.50 ft/s in a standard 6-in Schedule 40pipe, calculate the weight flow rate in lb/h. Ans. 1.97x105lb/hr
please help need solution for this
A centrifugal pump delivers 2.5 cfs of water against a head of 25 ft at 1500 rpm and requires 10 hp. If the speed is reduced to 1250 rpm calculate the flow (in m^3/s), assuming the same efficiency.
