Hydraulic oil flow rate question!? Engineers help!?

Oil flows at a velocity of 8 ft/s through a conduit with an inner diameter of 0.5 in. Determine the flow rate in GPM.





Hydraulic oil flow rate question!? Engineers help!?
volume flow = velocity x cross-sectional area





cross-sectional area = pi x diameter / 4





1 cubic foot = 7.48051945 US gallons





N.B your answer will be in GPS so multiply by 60 to get GPM

Q (Cu. Ft./ sec.) = Vel. x Area


.5 '; = .04166667'


Area = 3.14159 x .04166667^2/4 = .0013635 Sq. Ft.


Q = 8 Ft/sec x .0013635 Sq. Ft = .010908 Cu. Ft /sec


.010908 Cu. Ft./sec x 448.831 = 4.896 GPM
