Variables Used

Pressure Gradient - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Pressure Gradient is the change in pressure with respect to radial distance of element.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the internal resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied.
Radial Clearance - (Measured in Meter) - Radial Clearance or gap is the distance between two surfaces adjacent to each other.
Discharge in Laminar Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Discharge in Laminar Flow refers to the fluid flowing per second through a channel or section of a pipe.
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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Radial Clearance: 0.45 Meter --> 0.45 Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge in Laminar Flow: 55 Cubic Meter per Second --> 55 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Diameter of Piston: 3.5 Meter --> 3.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Velocity of Piston: 0.045 Meter per Second --> 0.045 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
