Fluid Dynamics

The friction factor for fluid flow, either compressible or non-compressible, is calculated from the Reynolds number and pipe roughness using equations modeling Moody's diagram. Pressure drop is then calculated for the fluid flow in the entire pipe length, which may include elbows.

Features:

• Different units can be selected to designate fluid properties and pipe specs
• Standard USS pipe sizes can be selected without need to specify pipe diameters
• Pipe diameter can be modified due to internal coking/build-up
• Flow calculations can be based on mass or volumetric flow
• Overall pipe length can account for elbows in line
• Information on fluid properties is presented, friction factor, and the Reynolds number
• Instructions for the software application is presented
