  2. Moody chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

    where is the density of the fluid, is the average velocity in the pipe, is the friction factor from the Moody chart, is the length of the pipe and is the pipe diameter. The chart plots Darcy–Weisbach friction factor against Reynolds number Re for a variety of relative roughnesses, the ratio of the mean height of roughness of the pipe to the ...

  3. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    The flow rate can be converted to a mean flow velocity V by dividing by the wetted area of the flow (which equals the cross-sectional area of the pipe if the pipe is full of fluid). Pressure has dimensions of energy per unit volume, therefore the pressure drop between two points must be proportional to the dynamic pressure q.

  4. Flow network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_network

    Maximum flow problems can be solved in polynomial time with various algorithms (see table). The max-flow min-cut theorem states that finding a maximal network flow is equivalent to finding a cut of minimum capacity that separates the source and the sink, where a cut is the division of vertices such that the source is in one division and the ...

  5. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    Figure 1a shows the flow through the nozzle when it is completely subsonic (i.e. the nozzle is not choked). The flow in the chamber accelerates as it converges toward the throat, where it reaches its maximum (subsonic) speed at the throat. The flow then decelerates through the diverging section and exhausts into the ambient as a subsonic jet.

  6. Max-flow min-cut theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max-flow_min-cut_theorem

    Each pipe has a capacity representing the maximum amount of water that can flow through it per unit of time. The max-flow min-cut theorem tells us that the maximum amount of water that can reach the city is limited by the smallest total capacity of any set of pipes that, if cut, would completely isolate the reservoir from the city.

  7. Pipe network analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_network_analysis

    This can be used to calculate mean values (expectations) of the flow rates, head losses or any other variables of interest in the pipe network. This analysis has been extended using a reduced-parameter entropic formulation, which ensures consistency of the analysis regardless of the graphical representation of the network. [ 3 ]

  8. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    [4] [5] [6] A generalized model of the flow distribution in channel networks of planar fuel cells. [6] Similar to Ohm's law, the pressure drop is assumed to be proportional to the flow rates. The relationship of pressure drop, flow rate and flow resistance is described as Q 2 = ∆P/R. f = 64/Re for laminar flow where Re is the Reynolds number.

  9. Hazen–Williams equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazen–Williams_equation

    The Hazen–Williams equation is an empirical relationship that relates the flow of water in a pipe with the physical properties of the pipe and the pressure drop caused by friction. It is used in the design of water pipe systems [ 1 ] such as fire sprinkler systems , [ 2 ] water supply networks , and irrigation systems.
