The equivalent diameter for fluid flow through square cross section channel of side 'x', for pressure drop calculation purpose is given by____________________?

Correct answer: C. x

  • A. 4x
  • B. 2x
  • C. x
  • D. √x

Explanation

The equivalent or hydraulic diameter is 4A/P, where A is flow area and P is wetted perimeter. For a square of side x, this becomes 4x²/(4x) = x.
