Calculate Flow Rate From Pressure at Two Points?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating flow rate from pressure measurements at two points, specifically using the Darcy-Weisbach equation for irreversible pressure drop. The flow rate in question varies between 100 sccm and 500 sccm. Participants emphasize the importance of accurate pressure readings and the application of established fluid dynamics principles to derive flow rates effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Familiarity with the Darcy-Weisbach equation
  • Knowledge of pressure measurement techniques
  • Basic skills in calculating flow rates
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the application of the Darcy-Weisbach equation in various flow scenarios
  • Learn about pressure drop calculations in piping systems
  • Explore the relationship between flow rate and pressure in different fluid types
  • Investigate tools for measuring flow rates accurately, such as flow meters
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, fluid dynamics specialists, and anyone involved in the design or analysis of piping systems will benefit from this discussion.

I am trying to find out what is the best method / correct formula to calculate Flow rate at inlet/outlet when pressure is known. Please see attached image. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note: Flow Rate can Vary from 100 sccm to 500 sccm.
