Water travels at 10' per second through a 2" pipe with inside diameter of 2.067". Determine amt.(gals.)the pipe delivers per hr.
10' per sec. = 36000' per hr.
:
Think of it as a cylinder of water with 2.067" diameter and 36000 ft long.
Find it's volume in cubic ft
Find the radius in ft: 2.067%2F%282%2A12%29 = .086125 ft is the radius
V = pi%2A.086125%5E2%2A36000
V = 838.9 cu/ft
Convert to gallons 1 cu/ft = 7.481 gal
V = 838.9 * 7.481
V = 6,275.82 gallons in 1 hr
