Hi, can somebody help me convert fluid volume megalitres per day into velocity of m/s in a pipleine of 1500mm diameter?

Help

Job depends on it!!

Let velocity be u m/s.

r = 750 mm = 0.75 m.

Let V be volume of water. Then:


V/s = u pi (0.75)^2 m^3/s

= u pi (0.75)^2 (24)(60)(60) m^3/day

= u pi (0.75)^2 (24)(60)(60) (1000) l/day.

Divide by 10^6 to convert to Ml/day.
