Pressure Gradient given Rate of Flow Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Pressure Gradient given Rate of Flow?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
dp|dr=(12μCR3)((QπD)+vpiston0.5CR)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
dp|dr=(1210.2P0.45m3)((55m³/sπ3.5m)+0.045m/s0.50.45m)
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
dp|dr=(1210.2P0.45m3)((55m³/s3.14163.5m)+0.045m/s0.50.45m)
Next Step Convert Units
dp|dr=(121.02Pa*s0.45m3)((55m³/s3.14163.5m)+0.045m/s0.50.45m)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
dp|dr=(121.020.453)((553.14163.5)+0.0450.50.45)
Next Step Evaluate
dp|dr=8231.83192127569N/m³
LAST Step Rounding Answer
dp|dr=8231.8319N/m³
