Theoretical Discharge through Pipe Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Theoretical Discharge = (Cross Section Area 1*Cross Section Area 2*(sqrt(2*[g]*Venturi Head)))/(sqrt((Cross Section Area 1)^(2)-(Cross Section Area 2)^(2)))
Q_th = (A_i*A_f*(sqrt(2*[g]*h_venturi)))/(sqrt((A_i)^(2)-(A_f)^(2)))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Theoretical Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Theoretical Discharge refers to the ideal flow rate of a fluid through a system, calculated under perfect conditions without considering any real-world losses like friction or turbulence.
Cross Section Area 1 - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross Section Area 1 refers to the area of cross section at the inlet of the structure (venturi meter or pipe).
Cross Section Area 2 - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross Section Area 2 refers to the area of cross-section at the throat (venturi meter) of the structure.
Venturi Head - (Measured in Meter) - The Venturi head refers to the difference between pressure head at inlet and pressure head at the throat.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cross Section Area 1: 7.1 Square Meter --> 7.1 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Cross Section Area 2: 1.8 Square Meter --> 1.8 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Venturi Head: 24 Millimeter --> 0.024 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_th = (A_i*A_f*(sqrt(2*[g]*h_venturi)))/(sqrt((A_i)^(2)-(A_f)^(2))) --> (7.1*1.8*(sqrt(2*[g]*0.024)))/(sqrt((7.1)^(2)-(1.8)^(2)))

Evaluating ... ...

Q_th = 1.27667064378257

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.27667064378257 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.27667064378257 ≈ 1.276671 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Theoretical Discharge
