How to Evaluate Rate of Flow given Pressure Gradient?

Rate of Flow given Pressure Gradient evaluator uses Discharge in Pipe = 0.5*Mean Velocity*Height of Channel-(Pressure Gradient*(Height of Channel^3)/(12*Dynamic Viscosity)) to evaluate the Discharge in Pipe, The Rate of Flow given Pressure Gradient formula is defined as the flow rate that is directly proportional to the pressure difference and the fourth power of the pipe radius, and inversely proportional to the fluid’s viscosity and the pipe length. Discharge in Pipe is denoted by Q symbol.

How to evaluate Rate of Flow given Pressure Gradient using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Rate of Flow given Pressure Gradient, enter Mean Velocity (Vmean), Height of Channel (h), Pressure Gradient (dp|dr) & Dynamic Viscosity (μ) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Rate of Flow given Pressure Gradient

What is the formula to find Rate of Flow given Pressure Gradient?
The formula of Rate of Flow given Pressure Gradient is expressed as Discharge in Pipe = 0.5*Mean Velocity*Height of Channel-(Pressure Gradient*(Height of Channel^3)/(12*Dynamic Viscosity)). Here is an example- 0.814249 = 0.5*10*1.81-(17*(1.81^3)/(12*1.02)).
How to calculate Rate of Flow given Pressure Gradient?
