Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Flow Rate (Q) = π × (D²/4) × V

Where:
Q = Volumetric Flow Rate (m³/s)
π = Pi (approximately 3.14159)
D = Pipe Diameter (m)
V = Slurry Velocity (m/s)

Slurry Flow Rate Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Slurry Flow Rate Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the pipe diameter in meters (m)
  2. Enter the slurry velocity in meters per second (m/s)
  3. Enter the slurry density in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³)
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the flow rates
  5. Click "Reset" to clear all inputs and start over

Understanding the Results

The calculator provides two key outputs:

  • Volumetric Flow Rate (m³/s): The volume of slurry passing through the pipe per second
  • Mass Flow Rate (kg/s): The mass of slurry passing through the pipe per second, calculated by multiplying the volumetric flow rate by the slurry density

Principle of Calculation

The calculator uses the formula for volumetric flow rate in a circular pipe:

Q = π × (D²/4) × V

Where Q is the volumetric flow rate, D is the pipe diameter, and V is the slurry velocity. The mass flow rate is then derived by multiplying this value by the slurry density.

Applications
