Theoretical investigation and experimentation into the expansion of round holes and cracks within pressurised pipes
The derivation of the classical equation for flow through an orifice assumes a fixed orifice area. However, pipe materials exhibit expansion behaviour with increasing pressure, which alters the size of orifices and results in greater leakage rates. The purpose of this investigation was to study the...
