What is Riser Pipe Flow?

The Riser Pipe Flow is a measure of the volume of fluid that flows through a riser pipe per unit of time. It is calculated using the coefficient of discharge, the diameter of the pipe, and the height of the fluid column.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Calculate the flow using the formula:

\[ Q = 6.3 \cdot 0.6 \cdot 2^2 \cdot 10^{0.5} \]

Step 2: Simplify the expression:

\[ Q = 6.3 \cdot 0.6 \cdot 4 \cdot \sqrt{10} \approx 6.3 \cdot 0.6 \cdot 4 \cdot 3.1623 \approx 47.8 \]

The Riser Pipe Flow (Q) is approximately 47.8 ft³/min.
