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.
