§ 5.4.1. Flow Equation Method


Latest version.
  • Q = AV and (Eq. 5-1)

    Q = (1.49/n) AR 2/3 S 1/2 (Eq. 5-2)

    Where,

    Q = Pipe Flow, cfs

    A = Cross-sectional area of flow, ft

    V = Velocity of flow, ft/sec

    n = Coefficient of roughness of pipe

    R = Hydraulic radius = A/W p , ft

    S = Friction slope in pipe, ft/ft

    W p = Wetted perimeter, ft
