Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to estimate the area of a crack in a pipe based on the pressure difference and leakage rate out of the crack. I've been assuming that the crack is a rectangular slot and trying to use a variation of the orifice eqution, but the results I've been getting seem...
Hi,
I'm trying to find an equation that relates the size of a crack (or slit) in a pipe to the pressure drop. Basically I'm trying to find an equation similar to an orifice plate, but for a crack in the pipe instead. The end of the pipe would be capped so that all flow is directed out of the...
