1. Formula for calculating water flow rate
Method for calculating water flow rate The flow rate of a liquid refers to the volume of fluid passing through a cross-section of a pipeline or open channel per unit time, also known as instantaneous flow rate, expressed as Q. Formula: Q=Sv, unit: m ^ 3/s or L/s. Among them, S is the cross-sectional area of the transverse fiber (m ^ 2), and v is the water flow velocity (m/s). Taking cubic meters per second (m ^ 3/s) as an example, it can be simply understood as: how many cubic meters of water pass through a cross-section of a pipeline in one second. For incompressible fluids, the flow rate through the cross-section is the same at each moment during steady flow. For a circular pipeline, the volume of water is a cylinder, and the cylinder volume V=bottom area S × height H. Here, the bottom area is the cross-sectional area S of the pipeline, and height H=water flow velocity v × time t. Since it is a unit time, time t is considered to be 1, so flow rate Q=SH=Svt=Svt=Sv × 1=Sv. The flow rate calculation method for square, trapezoidal, or other cross-sections is the same, but the calculation method for area S is different. Specific analysis is needed. If liters per second (L/s) is used as the unit, the conversion formula is 1m ^ 3/s=1000L/s. The basic conceptual unit of flow is cubic meters per second, and the equation for flow is Q=Sv=constant. (S is the cross-sectional area, v is the water flow velocity) (Q=AV is commonly used in fluid mechanics) When an incompressible fluid flows steadily through the same flow tube, the flow rate at each section of the tube is the same at each moment. The measurement of fluid flow rate within a certain channel is collectively referred to
