š Key Features:
šØ Calculate pressure loss in ducts using the Darcy-Weisbach equation
š Support for both circular and rectangular duct shapes
š Input parameters include: duct diameter/width & height, duct length, flow velocity, and fluid properties (density, viscosity)
š Automatic calculation of Reynolds number and friction factor
š§® Support for both SI (metric) and Imperial units
š§ What is the Darcy-Weisbach Equation?
The Darcy-Weisbach equation is a fundamental formula used to calculate pressure loss due to friction in a pipe or duct. It is widely used in fluid mechanics and HVAC applications for accurate analysis and design.
Equation: ĪP = f * (L/D) * (Ļ * V² / 2)
Where:
ĪP = pressure loss
f = friction factor (from Moody chart or Colebrook equation)
L = length of duct/pipe
D = hydraulic diameter
Ļ = fluid density
V = flow velocity
š· Suitable For:
HVAC engineers & designers
Mechanical and civil engineers
University students in fluid mechanics
Maintenance & facility technicians
š Notes:
This application is for educational and professional use. Always verify results with engineering standards or manuals where necessary.
