STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Drag Force = Coefficient of Drag*Cross Sectional Area of Pipe*Mean Velocity*Mean Velocity*Density of Fluid*0.5
FD = CD*A*Vmean*Vmean*ρ*0.5
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Coefficient of Drag - The Coefficient of Drag is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.
Cross Sectional Area of Pipe - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross sectional Area of Pipe refers to the area of the pipe through which the given liquid is flowing.
Mean Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean velocity is defined as the average velocity of a fluid at a point and over an arbitrary time T.
Density of Fluid - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Fluid is the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Coefficient of Drag: 0.01 --> No Conversion Required
Cross Sectional Area of Pipe: 2 Square Meter --> 2 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Mean Velocity: 10.1 Meter per Second --> 10.1 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Density of Fluid: 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
FD = CD*A*Vmean*Vmean*ρ*0.5 --> 0.01*2*10.1*10.1*1000*0.5
