Hydraulic Radius Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Radius = Cross Sectional Area of Flow/Wetted Perimeter
r_H = A_cs/P
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit.
Cross Sectional Area of Flow - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Sectional Area of Flow is the area of the sliced portion of a 3D object(pipe). When a pipe is sliced ,the cross sectional area will be calculated for the top part, which is a circle.
Wetted Perimeter - (Measured in Meter) - Wetted Perimeter is defined as the surface of the channel bottom and sides in direct contact with the aqueous body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cross Sectional Area of Flow: 25 Square Meter --> 25 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Wetted Perimeter: 80 Meter --> 80 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

What is Heat Transfer?

Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy between physical systems. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as thermal conduction, thermal convection, thermal radiation, and transfer of energy by phase changes.

Define Thermal Conductivity & Factors affecting it?

Thermal conductivity is defined as the ability of a substance to conduct heat. Factors Affecting The Thermal Conductivity are: Moisture, Density of material, Pressure, Temperature & Structure of material.
