What are Conditions in Poiseuille's Equation?

The assumptions of the equation are that the fluid is incompressible and Newtonian; the flow is laminar through a pipe of constant circular cross-section that is substantially longer than its diameter; and there is no acceleration of fluid in the pipe. For velocities and pipe diameters above a threshold, actual fluid flow is not laminar but turbulent, leading to larger pressure drops than calculated by the Hagen–Poiseuille equation.

How to Calculate Poiseuille's Formula?

Poiseuille's Formula calculator uses Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor = Pressure Changes*pi/8*(Pipe Radius^4)/(Dynamic Viscosity*Length) to calculate the Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor, Poiseuille's Formula is an equation that gives the pressure drop in an incompressible and Newtonian fluid in laminar flow flowing through a long cylindrical pipe of constant cross section. Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor is denoted by Q_v symbol.
