is it possible to have a flow rate of 10lit/sec in a 1/4" diameter pipe at 1 bar pressure ?
Flow of what? Air (certainly)? Water? Gear oil?Suresh Gadekar said:is it possible to have a flow rate of 10lit/sec in a 1/4" diameter pipe at 1 bar pressure ?
Air...i should have mentioned that earlierSvein said:Flow of what? Air (certainly)? Water? Gear oil?
The formula for calculating air flow rate is Q = A x v, where Q is the volumetric flow rate, A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe, and v is the average air velocity.
The pipe diameter has a direct impact on air flow rate. A larger pipe diameter means a larger cross-sectional area, which allows for a higher flow rate. Similarly, a smaller pipe diameter will result in a lower flow rate.
No, 1/4" pipe is not the standard size for air flow rate measurement. The standard size is typically 1" or larger, as smaller pipes may result in inaccurate readings due to friction and pressure drops.
The pressure in a 1/4" pipe is directly proportional to the air flow rate. This means that as pressure increases, the air flow rate will also increase. Conversely, a decrease in pressure will result in a decrease in air flow rate.
Yes, air flow rate in a 1/4" pipe at 1 bar pressure can be increased by either increasing the pressure or by using a larger diameter pipe. It is important to ensure that the pipe is not too small, as this can cause excessive pressure drops and decrease the flow rate. Additionally, using a smooth and clean pipe can also help to increase air flow rate.
