I'm trying to find information about the relationship between Flow Rate, Area, Velocity, Mesh SIze, Viscosity.

I'm trying to determine what diameter shell I would need (as in a filter vessel) if I desired a certain flow rate of water through a certain mesh size screen, at a certain pressure/temperature.

Any thoughts or directions to references...?

Thanks as always,

CW3
