The diameter of the sludge drain pipe is estimated through an iterative process, using the ND.Manifold equation found in the Fluids Functions program.

The diameter of the pipe is estimated through an iterative process, given the pipe database, the flow rate ratio, Qratio, and the following equation:

The Later the head loss in the manifold sludge drain is determined: also determined using the HL.Manifold function, also found in the Fluids Functions program.

Using this head loss and with it, the diameter of the orifices: each orifice is calculated using the D.orifice equation from the Fluids Functions program. This uses a Q.orifice, which is equivalent to the flow rate through the sedimentation tank divided by the number of slope pairs.
