Just what do [itex]a_1[/itex] and [itex]a_2[/itex] represent?domyy said:Homework Equations
maybe v1a1 = v2a2 ?
Assuming [itex]V[/itex] is volume and [itex]A[/itex] is area, something is wrong, either the book or your reading of it. The units are odd, too: [itex]\mathrm{L}^5[/itex]. If [itex]V[/itex] and [itex]A[/itex] mean something else, then I don't know.domyy said:I have to calculate cross section of pipe A and B.
My book says cross-sectional area is VA.
What is [itex]T[/itex]?I am confused with these formulas because I have the following:
Flow rate = VA
Flow rate = V/T
Think units. What units must flow rate have?So, flow rate = cross sectional area = VA?
Since the problem, as you gave it, uses only one significant figure, then your answer should have no more than one significant figure.domyy said:I know the answer! I got the answer! I got the answer! Just a question: how should I leave the flow rate considering the answer for B = 0.20096, should I say the answer is 0.20 or 0.200 l/s ?
The formula for calculating flow rate of fluids is Q = V/t, where Q is the flow rate in m3/s, V is the volume of fluid in m3, and t is the time in seconds.
To convert flow rate from one unit to another, you can use the following conversion factors:
- 1 m3/s = 1000 L/s
- 1 m3/s = 60,000 L/min
- 1 m3/s = 3.6 x 106 L/hr
- 1 m3/s = 35.3147 ft3/s
- 1 m3/s = 2118.88 ft3/min
- 1 m3/s = 127,132.8 ft3/hr
The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to flow. Higher viscosity fluids will have a lower flow rate compared to lower viscosity fluids, as they will require more force to move through a pipe or channel.
Yes, the flow rate of a fluid can be controlled through various methods such as changing the diameter of the pipe or channel, adjusting the pressure, or using valves and pumps to regulate the flow.
The velocity of a fluid is directly proportional to its flow rate. This means that as the velocity increases, the flow rate also increases. However, other factors such as viscosity and pipe diameter can also affect the flow rate, so it is important to consider these variables as well.
