ΔPf = (6*μ*vpiston*LP/(CR^3))*(0.5*D)
This formula uses 6 Variables
Variables Used
Pressure Drop due to Friction - (Measured in Pascal) - Pressure Drop due to Friction is the decrease in the value of the pressure due to the influence of friction.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the internal resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied.
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.
Piston Length - (Measured in Meter) - Piston Length is how far the piston travels in the cylinder, which is determined by the cranks on the crankshaft. length.
Radial Clearance - (Measured in Meter) - Radial Clearance or gap is the distance between two surfaces adjacent to each other.
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.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion ​here)
Velocity of Piston: 0.045 Meter per Second --> 0.045 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Piston Length: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Radial Clearance: 0.45 Meter --> 0.45 Meter No Conversion Required
Diameter of Piston: 3.5 Meter --> 3.5 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
ΔPf = (6*μ*vpiston*LP/(CR^3))*(0.5*D) --> (6*1.02*0.045*5/(0.45^3))*(0.5*3.5)
Evaluating ... ...

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.
