Distance between Plates given Pressure Head Drop Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Width
Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Symbol: w
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Dynamic Viscosity
The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the internal resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied.
Symbol: μ
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: P
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Length of Pipe
The Length of Pipe refers to total length from one end to another in which the liquid is flowing.
Symbol: Lp
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Mean Velocity
Mean velocity is defined as the average velocity of a fluid at a point and over an arbitrary time T.
Symbol: Vmean
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Specific Weight of Liquid
The Specific Weight of Liquid refers to the weight per unit volume of that substance.
Symbol: γf
Measurement: Specific WeightUnit: kN/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Head Loss due to Friction
The Head Loss due to Friction occurs due to the effect of the fluid's viscosity near the surface of the pipe or duct.
Symbol: hlocation
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)
