Rock removal rate

Input(s)

dbd_{b}: Bit Diameter (in.)

RR: Penetration Rate (ft/h)(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{h})

Output(s)

qrq_{r}: Rock Removal Rate (SCF/min)(\mathrm{SCF} / \mathrm{min})

Formula(s)

qr=π4db2R(12)(1,728)(60)=db2R11000q_{r}=\frac{\pi}{4} \frac{d_{b}^{2} R(12)}{(1,728)(60)}=\frac{d_{b}^{2} R}{11000}
