Calculating Change in Flow for P1 & D1

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the change in flow (Q) when pressure (P1) or pipe diameter (D1) changes, the affinity laws can be applied. The Hagen-Poiseuille equation is recommended for determining flow rates under laminar conditions. This equation relates flow rate to pressure and diameter, allowing for adjustments based on changes in these parameters. It is important to assume that the pipe material remains constant throughout the calculations. Understanding these principles is essential for accurate flow analysis in fluid dynamics.

If I have a flow , Q1 l/sec and a pressure P1 Bar , Pipe Diameter D1
how can I work out the change in flow if either/or both the Pressure
or Pipe Diameter change. Assuming laminar flow and pipe material
do not change.

Thanks

Welcome to PF!

Start with the affinity laws:

Use Hagen poiseulle equation

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
