URGENT- Pressure drop across flexible bellows connection
URGENT- Pressure drop across flexible bellows connection
(OP)
I've been asked to assess the reduction in cooling air flow due to the use of a flexible bellows joint between my ventilation duct and a locomotive traction motor...I want to set up a spread sheet to show reduction in area (due to pinching/closure due to missalignment) and resulting flow. I desperatly need a f or k factor or maybe a new equation to work out the pressure drop across the bellows and resulting reduction in airflow.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

You should also account for elbows by inputing them as equivalent lengths.
