Velocity of Flow in Pipe by Manning Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Flow Velocity = (1/Manning Coefficient)*(Hydraulic Radius^(2/3))*(Hydraulic Gradient^(1/2))
v_f = (1/n)*(R_h^(2/3))*(S^(1/2))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Flow Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity refers to the speed at which a fluid, such as a liquid or gas, moves through a particular area within a given time.
Manning Coefficient - Manning Coefficient is dimensionless and varies depending on the type of channel or surface through which water flows.
Hydraulic Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius, in fluid mechanics, is the cross-sectional area of an open channel or pipe divided by the wetted perimeter.
Hydraulic Gradient - Hydraulic Gradient is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a vertical datum.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Manning Coefficient: 0.009 --> No Conversion Required
