How This Is Calculated



Q1=Q2=v1A1=v2A2 where:

Q1   =   Flowrate 1   (m³/s)

Q2   =   Flowrate 2   (m³/s)

v1   =   Velocity 1   (m/s)

v2   =   Velocity 2   (m/s)

A1   =   Cross-sectional area 1   (m²)

A2   =   Cross-sectional area 2   (m²)


Assumptions



  • The fluid is incompressible and homogeneous.
  • The fluid is in a steady flow.
  • Flow is single phase.
  • Viscosity is negligible.
