Pressure Drop
As a fluid moves down a pipe, friction with the pipe generates heat and sound and leads a loss of energy within the fluid. Due to Bernoulli law, if there is a loss of energy yet constant flow, then there must be a reduction in pressure.
This function computes this pressure drop for a 100ft length of pipe. To compute the pressure drop for a shorter or longer pipe length, scale the number as appropriate.
[More documentation needed]
Parameters
| diameter | diameter of the pipe in [inches] |
| flow | the rate of flow through the pipe [US gpm] |
Returns
- the reduction in pressure [psi]
