This formula uses 6 Variables
Variables Used
Length of Pipe - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Pipe describes the length of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.
Specific Weight of Liquid - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Liquid represents the force exerted by gravity on a unit volume of a fluid.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Head Loss due to Friction - (Measured in Meter) - The Head Loss due to Friction occurs due to the effect of the fluid's viscosity near the surface of the pipe or duct.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow when an external force is applied.
Mean Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean velocity is defined as the average velocity of a fluid at a point and over an arbitrary time T.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Specific Weight of Liquid: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Width: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Head Loss due to Friction: 1.9 Meter --> 1.9 Meter No Conversion Required
Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Mean Velocity: 32.4 Meter per Second --> 32.4 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Lp = (γf*w*w*hlocation)/(12*μviscosity*Vmean) --> (9.81*3*3*1.9)/(12*1.02*32.4)
