Question 1

How many liters per second in a barrel per day?

Accepted Answer

One oil barrel per day equals approximately 0.00184 liters per second (159 L ÷ 86,400 seconds).

Question 2

What is barrel per day used for?

Accepted Answer

Oil industry standard for measuring crude oil production and refinery throughput. 1 bbl/day ≈ 159 L/day.

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.
