Air Consumption Flow rate q = 2546 CFM

= 4329 m3/Hr

Pipe Size calculation


q 4330 m3/Hr
Formula q = (π/4)*D2*v
Velocity (v) = 15 m/sec
Substituting the v=25*3600(Hr), formula bec q = (π/4)**D2*25*3600

Re-arranging formula for Dia Cal'n D = [(V*4)/(π*v)]^(1/2)


D = 0.32 m
= 320 mm
= 13.0 Inch

Pressure Drop calculation


Formula dp = 7.57 q1.85 L 104 / (D5p)

Where,
dp = Pressure drop Kg/cm2(abs)
q = Air volume flow at atmospheric conditions (FAD) (m3/min)
L = Length of pipe (m)
D = Inside diameter of pipe (mm)
p = Initial pressure - gauge (kg/cm2)
