How to determine the velocity, pressure drop and flow rate of air in Pipe
How to determine the velocity, pressure drop and flow rate of air in Pipe
(OP)
Dear All,
I would like to know if there are any equations using which we can calculate the velocity, pressure drop and flow rate of air in pipe. Whether the same formulas used for water can be applied to air? Also please let me know whether elevation difference makes any difference to the pressure loss in case of air as it does in case of liquids.
Thanks in advance

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.

One good source is a handbook titled Fan Engineering published by Buffalo Forge Company Buffalo, New York.
