- Q8. Pump sizing question (Q= A*V) find diameter (flow rate & velocity given)
- Ans.
Calculate the diameter of a pump using flow rate and velocity with the formula Q = A * V.
Use the formula Q = A * V, where Q is flow rate, A is cross-sectional area, and V is velocity.
Rearrange the formula to find A: A = Q / V.
The area A can be expressed in terms of diameter: A = π * (D/2)^2.
Combine the equations: D = 2 * sqrt(Q / (π * V)).
Example: If Q = 0.1 m³/s and V = 2 m/s, then D = 2 * sqrt(0.1 / (π * 2)).
