Variables
Functions
Coefficient of Velocity
The Coefficient of Velocity is the ratio of actual velocity to theoretical velocity.
Symbol: Cv
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Head Loss
Head Loss is a measure of the reduction in the total head (sum of elevation head, velocity head and pressure head) of the fluid as it moves through a fluid system.
Symbol: hf
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Head of the Liquid
The Head of the liquid is the height of a liquid column that corresponds to a particular pressure exerted by the liquid column from the base of its container.
Symbol: H
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
