Calculations - Average flow rate



 

Diameter of pipe, D = 4” = 0.1016 m

R.T.F Volume flow rate

 

Flow rate = Area × Velocity






 

Velocity

A pipe with an inner diameter of 4 inches contains water that flows at an average velocity of 2m/s

 Volume flow rate = A × V

                             = 0.0081 × 2

                             = 0.0162 m3/s

Converting seconds to hours

Volume flow rate = 0.0162 × 3600 = 52.32 m3/hr

This was the completed proposal form, that was emailed to Prof. Ekwue to be confirmed and signed. RATIONALE: Trinidad and Tobago have a highly densely populated twin island with a steady rise in population. As a result, agricultural land for small scale faming is limited. More housing development has little to no gardening space, forcing residents to rely solely on markets and groceries for produce. Moreover, Trinidad’s soil type is approximately seventy percent of sandy or clay like soil which is not good conditions for farming. Therefore, farmers in Trinidad undergo laborious and expensive farming practices to improve these conditions by investing in manure, tilling, ploughing, fertilizing and pesticide uses. This style of farming demands long tedious hours in the field. However, growing food hydroponically can simplify this process significantly. Hydroponics uses no soil. Thus, weeding out unwanted plants and pest control is no longer an issue. There are two main types of hydroponic...
