What is discharge ?
Discharge is the volume of fluid flowing through a cross-section of a channel, pipe, or river per unit time, typically measured in cubic meters per second (m³/s) or gallons per minute (GPM). It is calculated as the product of flow area and velocity. Discharge is a key parameter in hydraulic engineering, influencing the design and operation of water conveyance systems, flood control, and environmental management.
How to Calculate Area of Cross-Section given Discharge?
Area of Cross-Section given Discharge calculator uses Area of Running Full Sewers = Discharge when Pipe is Running Full/Velocity While Running Full to calculate the Area of Running Full Sewers, The Area of Cross-Section given Discharge is defined as the total cross-sectional area of the pipe when it is completely filled with fluid. Area of Running Full Sewers is denoted by A symbol.
How to calculate Area of Cross-Section given Discharge using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Area of Cross-Section given Discharge, enter Discharge when Pipe is Running Full (Q) & Velocity While Running Full (V) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Area of Cross-Section given Discharge calculation can be explained with given input values -> 8.75208 = 32.5/6.01.
