Thank you for your comment. Using the numbers from the problem, the common equivalent 7.48 gal/cubic ft and the formula for the area of a circle as 0.785 x D x D, the answer works out to be 7,046.16 gpm which we rounded to 7,046 gpm. If you solve for the cross-sectional area of the pipe using the formula A = π x r x r , the answer works out to be 7049.73 gpm which would round to 7050 gpm. (π in this calculation came from the pi button on the calculator)
I hope this clears up any confusion
American Water College plz how did u get 7,046 gpm can u explain
Omg I was converting gpm to ft/s and spent like 2hrs trying to figure out what I did wrong. Found this video. And as soon as you said to convert the inches to ft for the diameter it clicked lol thank you. Go my answer correct now.
What an arcane formula for area of a circle! It's Pie-R-squared! Taught in every middle school in the world!
The area of a circle (cross section of a round pipe) is pi * radius-squared, which is the same as pi * diameter-squared / 4 (radius-squared = [diameter/2]-squared = diameter-squared / 4)
The 0,785 is (Pi/4) as the formula is (pi*D^2)/4, its actually same as pi*r^2, just a different way to express

This is starting to make sense. Thank you
Thank you very much for explaining it clearly.
the large treatment plant in texas can treat 500 mgd and uses 15 % bleach for disinfection.the bleach has a specific gravity of 1.25. at maximum flow rate, how many gallons of bleach will be used per day of the effluent demand is 7.0 mg/l and 1.0 mg/l residual is required
Sir I have question. I have a multi storey building which contains 80 people and they use 200 gallons of water per person per day. For them how do I calculate the required diameter of sewerage pipe?
Area of circle is it not pi (3.14) x r2? I looked up online. Can you explain why area is calculated using 0.785xdxd?
please folk i have a question for u ..............Q- a source of water supply to a town on a hill is under investigation and following data are being considered:
population - 2 lakh , water demand - 200lpcd, height of point of inlet to water works above the lowest water level in the source- 30m , friction and minor losses in the intake pipe system to be around 4 m, efficiency of pump- 80%, duration of pumping- 20 hrs/day, flow velocity through pipe- to be about 1.0 m/sec.
Determine the size of rising main and the horse power of the pump required .
If velocity is not given, only head of liquid and diameter of pipe is available. Then how can be calculated flow.
You have to make it make sense where are you getting the other numbers like the A=0.785
This helped me out for my pharmacy technician test 😆
I'm a bit confused about the flow rate formula. Why do you divide Pi by 4 for this equation?
Good question.
i want to know how much valve opening with respect to the flowrate of tank to optimized backwashing and rinsing
please explain where you get the .785 from. is this a standard
For deep well (250feet) 5HP 8 stage 3 phase submersible Motor pump under 220v what is the pump impeller size and specifications to give out the water at high pressure and is it impeller size proportional to high pressure water out . Pipe size 2 inch and also high discharge rate that is LPM is same the so called pressure
Why are you using a funky formula for area, instead of pie-r- squared, showing that r= 1 ft? That's so much more reasonable and it ties in with what everyone learned about the area of a circle!

I don't like the pie formula it's harder for me
3.14x1= 3.14 squared, its the same but obviously for pie for you use 1x1 you use half the diameter, and for .785 you use the entire diameter.. eaither way works
Wow... the 3.14 thing is making me thing "pie" which is round, which tricks the brain into thinking it's a default part in equation even those not more than 2x2ft
The Imperial Measurement System makes this problem more difficult. Why do some people use it again?
Where are you getting 0.785 from?
.785 is one quarter or pi or 3.14.
So there are 2 formulas you can you use to figure area of a circle. 1) pi r2 or 3.14 times radius time radius or 2) diameter time diameter times .785. Hope this helps.
@@seanneeley8133 .785 expresses Pi/4, as the equation is commonly expressed Pi(D^2)/4
As opposed to 4/3(D^3)Pi, area of a sphere.
Double a liner measurement, 2^1=2
Double the Diameter of a pipe (or sides of a sq), the area increases 2^2=4
Double the Diameter of a sphere (or sides of a cube) the volume increases 2^3=8
Is there any formula to calculate a wear rate of slurry pipeline? it does not matter what kind of material the pipe is made and what velocity it has. I have some information about the thickness in mm according to the clock position.
Is flow rate and flow weighted average somehow the same in solving wastewater? I'm just confused.
Can i ask what mathematics concept is used in this?
Was very informative . Thank you for your time.
Sir,
Please tell me, How to calculate, In a pipeline, how much water will be discharged in one hour from a 10 mm hole. If the pipeline has a pressure of 10Kg / cm2.
Pls. can you explain from where did you get 0.785
Tqs sir ur explanation is good
what about when you have a 10inch pipe, or a pipe smaller than 1 foot diameter
jstang34 divide by 12..12 representing a foot.
jstang34 convert measurements
Where do he got the 7.48?
Pipe area isn’t equal to (pi)(r)(r)?
Why (0.785)(D)(D)?
Ex. Total discharge is 965.3cumsec . Then how to convert to cusec this value
But how to calculate velocity water in pipes
Thank you sir for lecture. To those who confused, they are displacement about the factor of conversation.
Thank you!
Dear sir thankyou so much to guide me
I hope anyone can help me out, im applying for a water plant operator which requires type d licence. How do i get this license?
is there any youtube for water supply subject ?
sir which one consume more energy a 1hp. or a 2 hp. (horsepower) both going to fill up a 21 gallon pressure tank.?
2 horse power because that double means 1492 watts. 1.5 horsepower for booster pump.
question i went to school on this and was taught to use ,7854 so which one is it cause in my watertreatment class he mark me wrong because of the 4 and i have a final on monday for this class!

hi..I want to know how can I calculate the flowing in the pump and compreesoren of HM 299 PC
What is velocity the pipe 3/4 please help me please
Where did u get 0.785 in area?
What do I do to get the diameter of the pipe?
This will save me points. thank you!
I cant find a video for. Weir overflow rate
Sir can you please explain, where you can get the 0.785 is it the constant no?thank you...
.7854 is the diameter of a 1 inch circle
I'm sorry it is the area of a 1 inch circle not diameter
what is the flow rate in 6 inch diameter pipe in gallons per minute (gpm) if the flow velocity is 1.2 feet per second? can anyone help me with that?
Put the same formula Q=V*A

Amazing!
Hi Sir, the factor 0.785 in the formula came from 3.14159 / 4？
.7854 is the area of a 1 inch dia.circlr
you should us a davidson pie to do the math it is easyer
LOL that slide through though!!! lmao!!!!
How come A 0.785 sir
125.93 gpm water, plz recheck your cal.
I took the 15.7 and multiplied it by 7.48 and then multiplied that number by 60 for seconds in a minute. 7,046 gpm. Why do any of the cancelation stuff? It convolutes the entire equation. I thought mathmaticians were always classified as lazy lol
I hate math. Is this what I expect to do on the test is arithmetic with math like this?
Bro i have no idea why i chose to take this class i ain’t understanding ANY of this
nice video and useful
can you explain where did u get 0.785? thanks...
GuitarMan1117a sorry the right hand side of the 3rd line should be (3.14/4)*d*d
0.785 is the factor of a circle.
0.785 is used instead of pi,(or pi,r,squared).
The equation for area is A= PI * R^2 . R=D/2 so the equation becomes A= PI *(( D^2)/4). PI=3.1415...
PI/4= 0.785
Why we use .785 -
joke equation
ffs america.... why don't we use the metic system. Its so so so so so much easier.
yes
I agree. 'Merica being individuals
For the same reason we cut parts of babies penisus off. Because we are fucked up.
You are right
All of our car parts are metric, you know its difficult to count to 10.
Genius
Mathematics manna achcha samjhao ki hamare practical se jivan mein samajh sake aur hamare exam mein sahi number
How can solve this problem 👇
Good
Nice sir
Where is the 0.785 coming from?
Pipe diameter =[ pi ÷4 ]Diameter squere.
yeah thaks man
answer is 117.4 Gal per min
Rajendra Bg They are correct, you must of made a error along the way. Do it on paper to check your answer.
Tnq u
All paying attention yet?
👍
Why are you not using SI-units? This is just stupid.. Get a grip to follow the development of the world. Please
Can't see the calculations under neath the hearing impaired shit!!

7,049 gpm not 7,046
'Merica still using Imperial lol
we should use metric honestly. so much simpler.
