How can we calculate velocity of water flushing,air blowing and steam blowing.

Question

Accepted Answer

Velocity of water flushing, air blowing and steam blowing can be calculated using various formulas and measurements.

For water flushing, velocity can be calculated using the formula Q/A, where Q is the flow rate and A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
For air blowing, velocity can be calculated using the formula V = Q/A, where V is the velocity, Q is the flow rate and A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
For steam blowing, velocity can be calculated using the formula V = (2gh)^0.5, where V is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the steam outlet above the ground.
Velocity can also be measured using flow meters, pitot tubes or anemometers.
