The flow velocity measured as in/min at the meter is 5924.13 in/min

Volumetric flow rate

We know that the volume flow rate Q = Av where

  • A = cross-sectional area of pipe and
  • v = flow velocity

Now, Q = 18 gal/min

Converting this to in³/min, we have

Q = 18 gal/min = 18 × 1 gal/min = 18 × 231 in³/min = 4158 in³/min

A = πd²/4 where d = diameter of pipe = 1.0 in.

Flow velocity, v

Since Q = Av, making v subject of the formula, we have

v = Q/A

v = 4Q/πd²

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

v = 4Q/πd²

v = 4 × 4158 in³/min ÷ π × (1.0 in)²

v = 16632 in/min ÷ π

v = 5924.13 in/min

So, the flow velocity measured as in/min at the meter is 5924.13 in/min
