Hydraulic Fluid Velocity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Hydraulic Fluid Velocity is:

\[ HFV = \frac{Q}{\pi r^2} \]

Where:

\(HFV\) is the hydraulic fluid velocity (m/s)
\(Q\) is the volume flow rate (m³/s)
\(r\) is the radius of the hydraulic tube (m)

What is Hydraulic Fluid Velocity?

A hydraulic fluid velocity describes the linear speed at which hydraulic fluid moves through a tube. It is an important parameter in hydraulic systems as it affects the efficiency and performance of the system.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Volume Flow Rate (Q) = 0.05 m³/s
Radius of Hydraulic Tube (r) = 0.1 meters

Using the formula:

\[ HFV = \frac{0.05}{\pi \cdot (0.1)^2} = \frac{0.05}{\pi \cdot 0.01} = \frac{0.05}{0.0314} \approx 1.59 \text{ m/s} \]

The hydraulic fluid velocity is approximately 1.59 m/s.
