Pressure drop calculator is an online tool for easy calculation. It is given as the pressure difference between two points of a fluid. The mathematical representation of the pressure drop is given as

J=$\frac{fLv^{2}}{2gD}$

Where J is the pressure drop
f is the friction factor
L is the length of the pipe
v is the velocity
g is the gravity constant
D is the inner diameter of the pipe

## Steps for pressure drop calculator

Step 1 :

Pick the given values from the question.

Step 2 :

The pressure drop equation is given by,

J=$\frac{fLv^{2}}{2gD}$

By substituting the given values calculate the pressure drop.

## Problem on pressure drop calculator

1. ### Calculate the pressure drop if the length of the pipe is 15m and inner diameter is 0.5m. The velocity of the fluid is given by 60m/s and the friction factor 0.2.

Step 1 :

From the question it is clear that,

f=0.2, L=15m, v=60m/s, D=0.5m and g=9.8m/s2

Step 2 :

The pressure drop equation is given by,

J=$\frac{fLv^{2}}{2gD}$

J=$\frac{0.2×15×60^{2}}{2×9.8×0.5}$

J=1102.04081 m

Pressure drop is given by,

J=1102.04081 m

2. ### Determine the pressure drop if the length of the pipe is 10m and inner diameter is 0.2m. The velocity of the fluid is given by 30m/s and the friction factor 0.5.

Step 1 :

From the question it is clear that,

f=0.5, L=10m, v=30m/s, D=0.2m and g=9.8m/s2

Step 2 :

The pressure drop equation is given by,

J=$\frac{fLv^{2}}{2gD}$

J=$\frac{0.5×10×30^{2}}{2×9.8×0.2}$

J=1147.95918 m
