D = (ΔPf/(6*μ*vpiston*LP/(CR^3)))*2
This formula uses 6 Variables
Variables Used
Diameter of Piston - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Piston is the actual diameter of the piston while the bore is the size of the cylinder and will always be larger than the piston.
Pressure Drop due to Friction - (Measured in Pascal) - Pressure Drop due to Friction is the decrease in the value of the pressure due to the influence of friction.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the internal resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied.
Velocity of Piston - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of piston in reciprocating pump is defined as the product of sin of angular velocity and time, radius of crank and angular velocity.
Piston Length - (Measured in Meter) - Piston Length is how far the piston travels in the cylinder, which is determined by the cranks on the crankshaft. length.
Radial Clearance - (Measured in Meter) - Radial Clearance or gap is the distance between two surfaces adjacent to each other.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Pressure Drop due to Friction: 33 Pascal --> 33 Pascal No Conversion Required
Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion ​here)

What is Dynamic Viscosity?

The dynamic viscosity η (η = "eta") is a measure of the viscosity of a fluid (fluid: liquid, flowing substance). The higher the viscosity, the thicker (less liquid) the fluid; the lower the viscosity, the thinner (more liquid) it is.
