Pressure drop and flow rate calculator
Pressure drop and flow rate calculator can be used for pressure drop and flow rate calculation for all newtonian fluids with constant density. You can calculate pressure drop or flow rate through a pipe including friction coefficient and local resistance coefficient K for valves and fittings calculation.
The most frequently used calculation in fluid dynamics probably is the calculation of pressure drop through a pipe or a channel. Also when the difference in pressure is known the same calculation is used to calculate flow rate through pipe.
Pressure drop calculator for closed pipe is based on the Bernoulli equation for calculation of pressure difference between two points of pipe, including pressure losses due to friction and local pressure losses in valves and fittings.
Pressure drop calculator can be used for both laminar and turbulent flow regime. It can calculate pressure drop or flow rate through a pipe including friction losses and local pressure losses calculation.
Pressure drop calculation due to friction is using friction factor values and pressure drop due to local resistance is using resistance coefficient K for valves and fittings values. Flow mean velocity calculation for known flow rate and pipe diameter is also used in calculator. Values of Reynolds number and flow regime - laminar or turbulent are presented. Pressure difference due to change of height is not included in this version of calculator.
Pressure drop and flow rate calculator requires JavaTM.
