This calculator can be used for both laminar and turbulent flow
regime. You can calculate pressure drop or flow rate through a pipe
including friction losses and minor pressure losses 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 possible flow rate through pipe.
Pressure drop calculator is based on the Bernoulli equation for calculation
of pressure difference between two points of one stream line, including
pressure losses due to friction and minor losses (like losses in bends, branches,
valves etc.). The pressure difference due to change of height is not
included in this version of calculator. Also this calculator can be used
for flow through pipe calculation when pressure difference is known.
