Barlow's Formula for Pipe Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Pressure = (2*Applied Stress*Wall Thickness)/(Outside Diameter)
P = (2*σ*t)/(D_o)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
Applied Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Applied stress is denoted by the symbol σ.
Wall Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Wall Thickness is simply the width of the wall that we are taking under consideration.
Outside Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Outside Diameter is the diameter of the outside surface.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Applied Stress: 93.3 Pascal --> 93.3 Pascal No Conversion Required
Wall Thickness: 7.83 Meter --> 7.83 Meter No Conversion Required
Outside Diameter: 0.05 Meter --> 0.05 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P = (2*σ*t)/(D_o) --> (2*93.3*7.83)/(0.05)

Evaluating ... ...

P = 29221.56

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

29221.56 Pascal --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

29221.56 Pascal <-- Pressure

Viscous Force using Head loss Due to Laminar Flow

Go Viscous Force head loss = Head loss*Specific Weight*pi*(Pipe Diameter^4)/(128*Rate of Flow*Change in Drawdown)

Length of Pipe given Head loss

Go Change in Drawdown = Head loss*Specific Weight*pi*(Pipe Diameter^4)/(128*Rate of Flow*Viscous Force head loss)

Viscous Stress

Go Viscous Stress = Dynamic Viscosity*Velocity Gradient/Fluid Thickness

Viscous Force Per Unit Area

Go Viscous Force = Force/Area
