Density of Fluid by Ergun Formula Elements

Variables
Density
The Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reynolds Number(pb)
Reynolds number(pb) is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities.
Symbol: Repb
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Absolute Viscosity
Absolute Viscosity is the measurement of the fluid's internal resistance to flow.
Symbol: μ
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: Pa*s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Void Fraction
Void Fraction is the fraction of the channel volume that is occupied by the gas phase.
Symbol:
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
Diameter(eff)
Diameter(eff) is a chord that runs through the center point of the circle.
