Question 1

What is acre-feet per day?

Accepted Answer

A water flow rate used in irrigation: volume to cover 1 acre with 1 foot of water daily. 1 ac-ft/day = 14.28 L/s.

Question 2

Where is acre-feet/day used?

Accepted Answer

Water resource management, irrigation systems, reservoir flow calculations, and agricultural water rights.

Question 3

How does pipe diameter affect flow rate?

Accepted Answer

Flow rate is proportional to the square of diameter. Doubling pipe diameter quadruples potential flow rate at the same pressure.

Question 4

What's the difference between volume and mass flow rate?

Accepted Answer

Volume flow (gallons/min) ignores fluid density. Mass flow (kg/s) accounts for density, important when density changes with temperature or pressure.
