The formula to calculate hose capacity is:
\[ \text{HC} = \pi \times \left( \frac{d}{2} \right)^2 \times L \]
Where:
Hose capacity refers to the maximum amount of fluid or gas that a hose can carry or transport at any given time. It is determined by the internal diameter of the hose and its length. The capacity is an important factor to consider when choosing a hose for specific applications, as it directly impacts the efficiency and speed of the fluid or gas transfer.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{HC} = \pi \times \left( \frac{2}{2} \right)^2 \times 10 = \pi \times 1^2 \times 10 \approx 31.42 \text{ cubic units} \]
The Hose Capacity is approximately 31.42 cubic units.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{HC} = \pi \times \left( \frac{1.5}{2} \right)^2 \times 20 \approx \pi \times 0.75^2 \times 20 \approx 35.34 \text{ cubic units} \]
The Hose Capacity is approximately 35.34 cubic units.
