Distance between Plates given Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width = ((Discharge in Laminar Flow*12*Dynamic Viscosity)/Pressure Gradient)^(1/3)
w = ((Q*12*μ)/dp|dr)^(1/3)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Discharge in Laminar Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Discharge in Laminar Flow refers to the fluid flowing per second through a channel or section of a pipe.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the internal resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied.
Pressure Gradient - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - The Pressure Gradient refers to the rate of change of pressure in a particular direction indicating how quickly the pressure increases or decreases around a specific location.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge in Laminar Flow: 55 Cubic Meter per Second --> 55 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Pressure Gradient: 17 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 17 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = ((Q*12*μ)/dp|dr)^(1/3) --> ((55*12*1.02)/17)^(1/3)

Evaluating ... ...

w = 3.40851384171747

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.40851384171747 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.40851384171747 ≈ 3.408514 Meter <-- Width
