Predictive Model on Constant Pressure Drop Variable: Area Fluid Flow System in a Pipe
Abstract: The effect of density, pressure drop, and orifice area was examined in this research. The basic equation developed to represent steady-state fluid flow is the Bernoulli equation which assumes that the total mechanical energy is conserved for steady incompressible, in viscid, isotherm flow with no heat transfer or work done. These restrictive conditions can actually be representative of many physical systems. The Bernoulli’s principle was applied in explaining the design …
