When using Bernoullis equation, part of it requires velocity to be input as part of it.
I am given flow rate of 5.00 m^3 per second. I am also told the diameter of a pipe that is 0.6 m. How do I calculate velocity?
I am assuming that velocity isn't simply 5.00 m/s
I know that flow rate (Q) = Area x velocity, therefore
velocity = Q / Area
I also know that Area is pi r^2,
thus I think that velocity = 5.00 / (pi * 0.15^2) = 70.7 m per second
Is this correct?
Many thanks for your time
