is it possible to have a flow rate of 10lit/sec in a 1/4" diameter pipe at 1 bar pressure ?
Air Flow Rate in 1/4" Pipe at 1 Bar Pressure
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the feasibility of achieving a flow rate of 10 liters per second in a 1/4" diameter pipe at 1 bar pressure, specifically for air. Participants emphasize the importance of specifying the type of fluid, as flow characteristics differ significantly between air, water, and other liquids. The consensus indicates that achieving such a flow rate in a 1/4" pipe is highly unlikely due to physical limitations and flow dynamics.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
- Knowledge of pipe flow characteristics
- Familiarity with pressure and flow rate relationships
