This
page is used to determine friction pressure loss. A direct solution for friction pressure loss is possible by
algebraic manipulation of the basic equations.
Small
Pipe, (Equation 10.23)
Large
Pipe, (Equation 10.24)
q = volumetric flow rate
r =
density
m =
viscosity
L = length of line
= mass/force conversion constant
= Frictional pressure drop
The
units are defined as those listed on page 321.
To carry out the Pipe Friction Pressure Loss calculation the Liquid
viscosity, Liquid density, Pipe length, Inside diameter, and Flow rate the
fluid must be entered into their entry space. To do so use the mouse to click
the curser in their entry space and input the data. Once this has been done,
select Run to execute the
solution.
