    How Do You Calculate the Kinetic Energy of Water Flowing Through a Pipe?

    I am a little stuck right now, what am I not comprehending? I did a CM conversion to try to keep it simple. With the area .45cm and the flow rate of 535.38 cm/s .45 x 535.38 = 240.73 I have a V=240 CC which equals 240 grams. So how do I get the density of 240 CC or grams of...

    How Do You Calculate the Kinetic Energy of Water Flowing Through a Pipe?

    You seem to be trying to do this from very little knowledge of the quantities involved. I know the PSI of the system, I know the GPM. I know the diameter of the pipe. So I got the velocity of the water there. I will go all metric with my numbers. I don't know calculus, took years of algebra...

    How Do You Calculate the Kinetic Energy of Water Flowing Through a Pipe?

    Thanks for the help but I think you just passed me in both lanes at the same time. I can't figure out how to put the density of water in a useable number since it is 1000kg/p cubic meter. Do I need to first figure out how much water is going past per second? Then use that volume to...

    How Do You Calculate the Kinetic Energy of Water Flowing Through a Pipe?

    Hello All, Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question but it seemed the best fit. I am trying to calculate the potential kinetic energy of water flowing through a pipe. Just your standard house pipe of 3/4 “ copper @ 40 psi and a flow rate of 5 gpm. There will be a...
