Feed system pressure drop Calculator calculates the feed system pressure drop depends on various factors such as flow rate, pipe length, pipe diameter, fluid properties, and any additional components like valves or fittings. However, a commonly used formula for pressure drop in a pipe due to friction is the Darcy-Weisbach equation:
Where:
- is the pressure drop (in Pascals or PSI).
- is the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor (dimensionless).
- is the length of the pipe (in meters or feet).
- is the fluid density (in kg/m³ or lb/ft³).
- is the fluid velocity (in m/s or ft/s).
- is the diameter of the pipe (in meters or feet).
