Fluid Work Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Fluid Work is:

\[ W_{fluid} = P \cdot A \cdot s \]

Where:

\(W_{fluid}\) is the Fluid Work (Joules)
\(P\) is the fluid pressure (N/m^2)
\(A\) is the area (m^2)
\(s\) is the distance (m)

What is Fluid Work?

Fluid Work is defined as the work done by a fluid when it moves through a certain distance under pressure over a given area. It is calculated by multiplying the fluid pressure, the area through which the fluid moves, and the distance the fluid travels.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Fluid Pressure (P) = 500 N/m^2
Area (A) = 2 m^2
Distance (s) = 3 m

Using the formula:

\[ W_{fluid} = 500 \times 2 \times 3 = 3000 \, \text{Joules} \]

The Fluid Work is 3000 Joules.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Fluid Pressure (P) = 800 N/m^2
Area (A) = 1.5 m^2
Distance (s) = 4 m

Using the formula:

\[ W_{fluid} = 800 \times 1.5 \times 4 = 4800 \, \text{Joules} \]

The Fluid Work is 4800 Joules.
