Question
What pipe diameter will give a rate of flow of $4 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{min}$ for a fluid delivered at the rate of 2 $\mathrm{gal} / \mathrm{min}$ ?
Step 1
1 gallon is equivalent to 0.133681 cubic feet. Therefore, 2 gallons per minute is: \[ 2 \, \text{gal/min} \times 0.133681 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{gal} = 0.267362 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{min} \] Show more…
