STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Pressure Loss due to Sudden Contraction at point 1 = 0.6*Velocity of Air at Section 1^2*Dynamic Loss Coefficient
ΔP_{sc 1} = 0.6*V₁^2*C
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Pressure Loss due to Sudden Contraction at point 1 - (Measured in Pascal) - Pressure Loss due to Sudden Contraction at point 1 due to friction is the decrease in the value of the pressure due to the influence of friction.
Velocity of Air at Section 1 - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Air at section 1 is defined as the rate of air movement measured in distance traveled relative to time elapsed at section 1.
Dynamic Loss Coefficient - Dynamic Loss Coefficient is defined as the value which is experimentally determined to calculate the dynamic pressure loss.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity of Air at Section 1: 17 Meter per Second --> 17 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Dynamic Loss Coefficient: 0.02 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ΔP_{sc 1} = 0.6*V₁^2*C --> 0.6*17^2*0.02

Evaluating ... ...

ΔP_{sc 1} = 3.468
