    Thank you for your comment. Using the numbers from the problem, the common equivalent 7.48 gal/cubic ft and the formula for the area of a circle as 0.785 x D x D, the answer works out to be 7,046.16 gpm which we rounded to 7,046 gpm. If you solve for the cross-sectional area of the pipe using the formula A = π x r x r , the answer works out to be 7049.73 gpm which would round to 7050 gpm. (π in this calculation came from the pi button on the calculator)
    I hope this clears up any confusion

    The area of a circle (cross section of a round pipe) is pi * radius-squared, which is the same as pi * diameter-squared / 4 (radius-squared = [diameter/2]-squared = diameter-squared / 4)

    Omg I was converting gpm to ft/s and spent like 2hrs trying to figure out what I did wrong. Found this video. And as soon as you said to convert the inches to ft for the diameter it clicked lol thank you. Go my answer correct now.

  • @2Allanmr
    @2Allanmr 5 лет назад +5

    The 0,785 is (Pi/4) as the formula is (pi*D^2)/4, its actually same as pi*r^2, just a different way to express

    the large treatment plant in texas can treat 500 mgd and uses 15 % bleach for disinfection.the bleach has a specific gravity of 1.25. at maximum flow rate, how many gallons of bleach will be used per day of the effluent demand is 7.0 mg/l and 1.0 mg/l residual is required

      @seanneeley8133 3 года назад

      .785 is one quarter or pi or 3.14.
      So there are 2 formulas you can you use to figure area of a circle. 1) pi r2 or 3.14 times radius time radius or 2) diameter time diameter times .785. Hope this helps.

    • @cheerdiver
      @cheerdiver 3 года назад

      @@seanneeley8133 .785 expresses Pi/4, as the equation is commonly expressed Pi(D^2)/4
      As opposed to 4/3(D^3)Pi, area of a sphere.
      Double a liner measurement, 2^1=2
      Double the Diameter of a pipe (or sides of a sq), the area increases 2^2=4
      Double the Diameter of a sphere (or sides of a cube) the volume increases 2^3=8

    Why are you using a funky formula for area, instead of pie-r- squared, showing that r= 1 ft? That's so much more reasonable and it ties in with what everyone learned about the area of a circle!

      3.14x1= 3.14 squared, its the same but obviously for pie for you use 1x1 you use half the diameter, and for .785 you use the entire diameter.. eaither way works

    population - 2 lakh , water demand - 200lpcd, height of point of inlet to water works above the lowest water level in the source- 30m , friction and minor losses in the intake pipe system to be around 4 m, efficiency of pump- 80%, duration of pumping- 20 hrs/day, flow velocity through pipe- to be about 1.0 m/sec.
