SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating pressure in a horizontal pipe with vertical tubes, specifically using the formula Q=πR4∆p/(8ηL). The parameters provided include a water viscosity of η = 1.00E-3 Pa*s, a volume flow rate of 0.0121 m3/s, a height H of 0.0424 m, and a length L of 0.679 m. Participants seek guidance on applying this formula to determine the pressure difference (∆p) necessary for the flow conditions described.
