Mean Velocity of Flow given Pressure Drop over Length of Pipe Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mean Velocity = Pressure Difference/(32*Dynamic Viscosity*Length of Pipe/(Diameter of Pipe^2))
V_mean = ΔP/(32*μ*L_p/(D_pipe^2))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Mean Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Mean Velocity refers to the average speed at which fluid flows through a given cross-sectional area of a pipe or channel.
Pressure Difference - (Measured in Pascal) - The Pressure Difference refers to the variation in pressure between two points within a fluid or gas, a critical factor in driving fluid motion.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the internal resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied.
Length of Pipe - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Pipe refers to total length from one end to another in which the liquid is flowing.
Diameter of Pipe - (Measured in Meter) - The Diameter of Pipe refers to the diameter of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pressure Difference: 90 Newton per Square Meter --> 90 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Length of Pipe: 0.1 Meter --> 0.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Diameter of Pipe: 1.01 Meter --> 1.01 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_mean = ΔP/(32*μ*L_p/(D_pipe^2)) --> 90/(32*1.02*0.1/(1.01^2))

Evaluating ... ...

V_mean = 28.1277573529412

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

28.1277573529412 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

28.1277573529412 ≈ 28.12776 Meter per Second <-- Mean Velocity
