What is viscous flow?

A type of fluid flow in which there is a continuous steady motion of the particles; the motion at a fixed point always remains constant. Also called streamline flow; laminar flow; steady flow.

What is pressure drop?

Pressure drop is defined as the difference in total pressure between two points of a fluid carrying network. A pressure drop occurs when frictional forces, caused by the resistance to flow, act on a fluid as it flows through the tube.

How to Calculate Difference of Pressure for Viscous or Laminar Flow?

Difference of Pressure for Viscous or Laminar Flow calculator uses Pressure Difference in Viscous Flow = (32*Viscosity of Fluid*Average Velocity*Length of Pipe)/(Pipe Diameter^2) to calculate the Pressure Difference in Viscous Flow, Difference of Pressure for Viscous or Laminar Flow often described by the Hagen-Poiseuille equation, depends on the fluid's viscosity, the length and radius of the pipe, and the flow rate. The pressure drop is directly proportional to the fluid's viscosity and the length of the pipe, and inversely proportional to the fourth power of the pipe's radius. Pressure Difference in Viscous Flow is denoted by Δp symbol.
