DESCRIPTION:
Equations for calculating area, wetted perimeter and hydraulic radius for partially full pipe flow are included in this book along with a brief review of the Manning equation and discussion of its use to calculate a) the flow rate in a given pipe (diameter, slope, & Manning roughness) at a specified depth of flow, b) the required diameter for a specified flow rate at a target percent full in a given pipe, and c) the normal depth (depth of flow) for a specified flow rate in a given pipe. This includes presentation and discussion of the equations for the calculations, example calculations, and spreadsheets to facilitate the calculations.. The Manning equation is used for a wide variety of uniform open channel flow calculations, including gravity flow in pipes, the topic of this book. Gravity flow occurs in pipes for partially full flow, up to and including full pipe flow, as long as the pipe isn’t pressurized
Informative Basics. "HYDRAULICS AND PIPE FLOW CALCULATIONS" according to Roller King. A great design aid that covers much pipe flow engineering detail and calculations in a concise format. Alleviates having to go to various other sources, such as textbooks, internet sites, etc. Most hydraulic textbooks deal with circular pipe flow calculations in a cumbersome manner, and usually have minimal solved problems. Most notably, when dealing with pipes with flow > d/2. I always had to deal with the inscribed triangle based on y/d, as this was how I was taught in college and in the professional setting. Bengston provides mathimatical equations for flow >d/2 which eliminates this step and reduces c
