Calculates the volumetric flow rate in a pipe given a specific
head loss, length, internal diameter, and Flamant coefficient.
Usage
calc_flow_flamant(loss, length, diameter, coef = 0.000135)
Arguments
- loss
Numeric. The friction head loss (meters).
- length
Numeric. The length of the pipe (meters).
- diameter
Numeric. The internal diameter of the pipe (meters).
- coef
Numeric. The Flamant roughness coefficient (b).
Default is 0.000135, which is typical for smooth plastic pipes (e.g., PVC, PE).
Value
A numeric vector representing the volumetric flow rate in cubic meters per second.
Examples
# Find maximum flow rate for a 50m pipe with 15mm diameter and 1.5m head loss
calc_flow_flamant(loss = 1.5, length = 50, diameter = 0.015)
