Mean velocity in Hydraulics and Waterworks Formulas

Mean velocity of a fluid in a pipe or channel normally means the flow rate divided by the cross-sectional area of the flow. And is denoted by v_m. Mean velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Mean velocity is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Mean velocity?

Mean velocity of a fluid in a pipe or channel normally means the flow rate divided by the cross-sectional area of the flow. Mean velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Mean velocity is always positive.

Can the Mean velocity be negative?

No, the Mean velocity, measured in Speed cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Mean velocity?

Mean velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Mean velocity can be measured.
