Heat Generated in circular tube?
Heat Generated in circular tube?
(OP)
Hi,
I am loooking to calculate the heat generated in a circular tube due to friction.
I have an equation here but can't find a reference for it:
Btu/Hr = PSI X GPM X Diameter
Does anyone know where I could find this equation?
Thanks

I found it in the fluid power data book in the fluid power formulas.
It is the heat equivalent of fluid power equation.
Thanks!

The heat generated by friction in a liquid would be that of the pressure drop as following:
P = Vs * dp
P = Generated heat [kW]
Vs = Volume flow [m3/s]
dp = Pressure drop [kPa]
To calculate pressure drop, search the forum or read http://
