Calculate Dynamic Pressure Loss (P_d)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Dynamic Pressure Loss (P_d) is:

\[ P_d = \frac{\rho \cdot v^2}{2} \]

What is Dynamic Pressure Loss?

Dynamic pressure loss refers to the loss of pressure in a fluid flow system due to the kinetic energy of the fluid. It is a measure of the energy required to move the fluid through a system and is influenced by factors such as fluid velocity and density. Dynamic pressure loss is an important consideration in the design and analysis of fluid flow systems, as it affects the overall efficiency and performance of the system.

Example

Let's say the density of the fluid (ρ) is 1000 kg/m³, and the velocity of the fluid (v) is 5 m/s. Using the formula:

\[ P_d = \frac{1000 \times 5^2}{2} = 12500 \]

So, the dynamic pressure loss (P_d) is 12500 Pa.
