Calculating pressure drop across an orifice

Calculating pressure drop across an orifice

(OP)
What is the equation that I need to properly calculate the pressure drop across a restrictor orifice?  
I'm using Fuel as the media.  

RE: Calculating pressure drop across an orifice

Miguel, review previous posting on the subject.  This is a popular topic and has been well documented!

RE: Calculating pressure drop across an orifice

(OP)
What is the previous posting on this subject?  I went back 6 pages and only found the flow in a pipe calculation..  Is there a title that I can search by?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Calculating pressure drop across an orifice

I'd start with "Search Posts (Keyword)" and use "orifice" and "pressure drop" as keywords.  See how you do.  Adjust as needed.  Be flexible.

Good luck,
Latexman

RE: Calculating pressure drop across an orifice

It looks like "Search" is broken right now.  The tread could have been in one of the chemical engineering topics.

RE: Calculating pressure drop across an orifice

Worked for me.  Search on just orifice across the whole site and just in the subjects.  You'll get a ton of posts.

Good luck,
Latexman

Miguelangelr:

It would also be helpful if you stated what fuel you are referring to: gas, fuel oil (which one), coal, coal slurry, refinery off gas, hydrogen, etc.

RE: Calculating pressure drop across an orifice

But if you insist on sizing, please take a look at Thread798-106580.
