Discharge Capacity Calculation for Vitrified Pipe

What is the discharge capacity of a 325-mm-diameter vitrified pipe with a head loss of 2.54 m?

What formula is used to calculate the discharge capacity of the pipe?

Discharge Capacity Calculation:

The discharge capacity of the given pipe is 12.57 m³/s.

The formula to calculate the discharge capacity of the pipe is:

Q = (C×π×d²/4)×(2gh)³

Where:

Q = Discharge capacity of the pipe

C = Hazen-Williams coefficient

d = Diameter of the pipe

h = Head loss

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The cross-sectional area of the pipe can be calculated as:

A = πd²/8

The velocity of flow in the pipe can be determined by:

v = (2gh)^(1/2)

After putting the values into the formula, the discharge capacity is calculated as 12.57 m³/s.
