Question 1

How many liters per second in a gigaliter per day?

Accepted Answer

One gigaliter per day = 11,574 L/s (10⁹ L ÷ 86,400 seconds). Used for major water utilities.

Question 2

Where is GL/day used?

Accepted Answer

Municipal water supply statistics, large reservoir management, and regional water consumption data.

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.
