Getting Qideal from Bernouli and continuity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the ideal flow rate (Qideal) using Bernoulli's equation and the continuity equation. The formula for Qideal is presented, which incorporates pressure difference (ΔP) and density (ρ), along with geometric factors. The original poster is applying the equations correctly but is uncertain about missing elements in their calculations. They specifically mention using ΔP as a function of height difference (Δh) and express logical understanding of the area relationship. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately applying these fluid dynamics principles to achieve the desired flow rate calculation.

So, I found a paper relating to a lab report that I've been working on that says that I can get
Qideal=(pi*d^2)/4) √((2ΔP/(ρ(1-D/D')^4 ))
From Bernouli which my book has as:
P11+1/2v1^2+gh1=P22+(1/2)v2^2+gh2

and Continuity which my book has as:
ρ1A1V1 = ρ2A2V2

I'm able to get kind of in that direction applying this,
ΔP = -ρgΔh

And the area portion makes sense logically

But I'm wondering what I'm missing.
Thanks!

The OP seems to be citing a relationship for calculating the volumetric flow rate across a resistance in the flow, such as an orifice plate based on the pressure difference across the resistance.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
