Projected Area given Drag Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cross Sectional Area of Pipe = Drag Force/(Coefficient of Drag*Mean Velocity*Mean Velocity*Density of Fluid*0.5)
A = F_D/(C_D*V_mean*V_mean*ρ*0.5)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Cross Sectional Area of Pipe - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross sectional Area of Pipe refers to the area of the pipe through which the given liquid is flowing.
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Coefficient of Drag - The Coefficient of Drag is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.
Mean Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean velocity is defined as the average velocity of a fluid at a point and over an arbitrary time T.
Density of Fluid - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Fluid is the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Drag Force: 1.1 Kilonewton --> 1100 Newton (Check conversion here)
Coefficient of Drag: 0.01 --> No Conversion Required
Mean Velocity: 10.1 Meter per Second --> 10.1 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
