Pipe Flow & Pressure Drop

Frictional pressure drop in a circular pipe from the Darcy-Weisbach equation. The friction factor is found automatically — the laminar formula (f = 64/Re) below Re = 2300, otherwise the Swamee-Jain explicit approximation to the Colebrook equation.

V, Q L D ΔP = f·(L/D)·(ρV²/2)
Fully developed flow through a straight circular pipe of length L, diameter D.
