Why is the Orifice Plate Area 0.0058 ft²?

AI Thread Summary
The orifice plate area of 0.0058 ft² corresponds to a diameter of 1.025 inches, which is confirmed through area calculations for a circle. The area is derived from the formula for the area of a circle, demonstrating that the values are equivalent. The discussion highlights the importance of double-checking calculations, especially when fatigue affects clarity. Acknowledgment of needing assistance with basic concepts is also noted. Understanding these fundamentals is crucial for accurately determining the orifice coefficient.

I have a diameter of orifice is 1.025 inches and it says the Plate Area is 0.0058ft ^2 how is this answer received? Ill be using it to find orifice coefficient I don't understand why its 0.0058

0.0058 is the area of a 1.025 inch circle expressed in square feet. Do the math, you'll find they are equivalent.
 
ah yes brain fart lol I was running on like 3 hrs of sleep in 3 days. Thank you sometimes you need a little help on the simplest things!
 

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
