Scenario: You are working at a water treatment plant. You need to determine the flow rate of water entering the plant through the main influent pipe. The pipe has a diameter of 1 meter. Using a Flo-Mate, you measure the average flow rate to be 1.5 m3/s.
Task:
Exercise Correction:
1. **Conversion to L/min:** * 1 m3 = 1000 L * 1 s = 60 min * Flow rate = 1.5 m3/s * 1000 L/m3 * 60 min/s = **90,000 L/min** 2. **Velocity calculation:** * Cross-sectional area of the pipe = π * (diameter/2)^2 = π * (1 m/2)^2 = 0.785 m2 * Velocity = Flow rate / Area = 1.5 m3/s / 0.785 m2 = **1.91 m/s**
