A decorative water feature includes a planar vertical wall of width 5 metres down which a film of water of thickness 0.6 mm pass down. Calculate the volumetric consumption of this element of the water feature in a one hour period. Assume that the water density is 1000 kg.m-3 and that the viscosity is 1.0 mPa.s.

Solution

Volumetric consumption = (b*t*viscosity/density) * time

=(5*0.6*10³*1*10^-3/1000) *3600

= 10.8 m³
