Loss of Liquid Head Formula Elements

Variables
Constants
Loss of Liquid Head
Loss of Liquid Head is a measure of the reduction in the total head of the fluid as it moves through a fluid system. Head loss is unavoidable in real fluids.
Symbol: hμ
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.
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.
Density Of Liquid
Density Of Liquid 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: ρl
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Outside Diameter of Seal Ring
The Outside Diameter of Seal Ring is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the ring and whose endpoints lie on the ring.
Symbol: d1
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Gravitational acceleration on Earth
Gravitational acceleration on Earth means that the velocity of an object in free fall will increase by 9.8 m/s2 every second.
Symbol: [g]
Value: 9.80665 m/s²
