I was wondering if I could get somewhat equal performance from these calculations. Or if the calculations mean anything at all.
Keep in mind that my PVC is 2" diameter so the radius in the EQ is 1" virtually eliminating that part of the equation essentially making it just PI*height
I used the Cylinder Volume formula V=Pi*r^2*h and my trusty Texas Instruments TI-84+ Silver Calculator
Code: Select all
Volume of Guide APH 1 PC
PI*1.5^2*4 = 28.27433388 cubic inches
Total Volume of both PCs
Ans*2 = 56.54866776 cubic inches
Possible Choices for my PC(s)
6" length PC
PI*1^2*6 = 18.84955592cubic inches
I would use 3 PCs with this length PC
Ans*3 = 56.54866776 cubic inches - Equal PC volume to the Guide
8" length PC
PI*1^2*8 = 25.13274123 cubic inches
I would use 3 PCs with this length
Ans*3 = 75.39822369 cubic inches - Larger total volume
10" length PC
PI*1^2*10 = 31.41592654 cubic inches
I would use 2 PCs @ this length
Ans*2 = 62.83185307 cubic inches - Smaller than 3 8" PCs but larger than Guide PCs
3 PCs would yield
94.24777961 cubic inches
What do you guys suggest?
