Hey guys. I could use some explanation since I am new to FM: So my problem is the following one: Fluid flows with an average velocity 8 m/s in a pipe with diameter 3m. What is the volume flow rate?
Now, I think the formula I got to use is Q= v.A Yet, I found my solution from a formula I found on the net where (1/4π * pipe diameter^2 * V). I got my result I need 18π but I just can't understand where I got this formula from and what does it mean! Would be grateful for any assist

1/4π * 9 * 8 = 72/4.π or 18π
