Leakage Velocity Formula Elements

Variables
Velocity
Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.
Symbol: v
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Pressure Change
Pressure Change is defined as the difference between final pressure and initial pressure. In differential form, it is represented as dP.
Symbol: Δp
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Radius of Seal
Radius of Seal is a radial line from the focus to any point of a curve.
Symbol: rs
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Incremental Length in Direction of Velocity
Incremental Length in Direction of Velocity is defined as a length increase in velocity direction.
Symbol: dl
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Absolute Viscosity of Oil in Seals
The Absolute Viscosity of Oil in Seals represents the ratio of a fluid's shear stress to its velocity gradient. It is a fluid's internal flow resistance.
Symbol: μ
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: cP
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Leakage Velocity?

Leakage Velocity evaluator uses Velocity = (Pressure Change*Radius of Seal^2)/(8*Incremental Length in Direction of Velocity*Absolute Viscosity of Oil in Seals) to evaluate the Velocity, The Leakage Velocity formula is defined as the leakage mass flow rate and the velocity distribution for a centered position. Velocity is denoted by v symbol.

How to evaluate Leakage Velocity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Leakage Velocity, enter Pressure Change (Δp), Radius of Seal (rs), Incremental Length in Direction of Velocity (dl) & Absolute Viscosity of Oil in Seals (μ) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Leakage Velocity

What is the formula to find Leakage Velocity?
The formula of Leakage Velocity is expressed as Velocity = (Pressure Change*Radius of Seal^2)/(8*Incremental Length in Direction of Velocity*Absolute Viscosity of Oil in Seals). Here is an example- 119.6581 = (112*0.01^2)/(8*0.0015*0.0078).
How to calculate Leakage Velocity?
With Pressure Change (Δp), Radius of Seal (rs), Incremental Length in Direction of Velocity (dl) & Absolute Viscosity of Oil in Seals (μ) we can find Leakage Velocity using the formula - Velocity = (Pressure Change*Radius of Seal^2)/(8*Incremental Length in Direction of Velocity*Absolute Viscosity of Oil in Seals).
What are the other ways to Calculate Velocity?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Velocity-
  • Velocity=Discharge Through Orifice/AreaOpenImg
Can the Leakage Velocity be negative?
Yes, the Leakage Velocity, measured in Speed can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Leakage Velocity?
Leakage Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Leakage Velocity can be measured.
