What is the volume of water flowing out of a pipe?

1 answer

To determine the volume of water flowing out of a pipe, you need to know a few key parameters:

  1. Cross-sectional area of the pipe (A): This is typically measured in square meters (m²). For a circular pipe, you can calculate the area using the formula: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] where \( r \) is the radius of the pipe.

  2. Flow velocity (v): This is the speed at which water flows through the pipe, measured in meters per second (m/s).

  3. Time (t): The time duration for which the water flows, measured in seconds (s).

Once you have these values, you can calculate the volume of water flowing out of the pipe using the formula: \[ V = A \cdot v \cdot t \] where \( V \) is the volume of water in cubic meters (m³).

If you provide the specifics (such as the diameter or radius of the pipe, the flow velocity, and the time duration), I can help you with a more detailed calculation!
