Overflow Pipe Sizing was created by surigaonon
I would like to ask your help on what formula i'm going to use in determining the overflow pipe size. I'm not really sure whether i will use the ( square root of rho*g*h ) as the formula in calculating the velocity and flow rate. Or do i need to use the weir formula. Thank you very much.

A properly sized overflow should be sized such that the Froude number is within certain limits...
