Publisher review:The Fluid Flow Calculator is used to calculate pipe friction losses for straight piping handling water and water with varying percentages of ethylene glycol. This calculator is used to calculate pipe friction losses for straight piping handling water and water with varying percentages of ethylene glycol.
The calculator uses an algorithm developed from the basic principles of fluid mechanics. The program is based on the Darcy-Weisbach equation, the Colebrook equation, and the Moody equation.
The program is intended for use only on straight piping. The program does not include pressure losses due to elevation differences, or flow through fittings.
This calculator allows the user to input the fluid type, the fluid temperature, the flow rate, the pipe size, pipe length, and pipe material. The calculator then determines the velocity, the Reynolds number, the Moody friction factor, the pipe friction factor (from the Colebrook equation), the pipe head loss, and the pipe friction loss in PSI.
The Fluid Flow Calculator is a Perl script for Calculator scripts design by Mike Rocchetti.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / Mac OS / BSD / Solaris.
