Explanations

Flow

Air flow in this pipe.

Pipe diameter

The actual inside diameter of the pipe.

Kinematic viscosity

Specifies how quickly a liquid spreads relative to its mass if it is poured out on a flat surface. In the original case, set to air at 20˚C.

Dynamic viscosity

Are proportionality factor for the force it takes to parallel displace a surface relative to another, if the gap between these surfaces is filled with a viscous liquid or gas.

Density

Density or volume of the mass is an SI unit and is a measure of a specific substance density, ie mass per unit volume. A synonym for density that can sometimes occur is specific gravity.

Pressure drop

Pipe pressure drop corresponds to the force required to move the medium in the relevant pipe of 1 meter.

Velocity ​​

The velocity of the air in the tube.

Pipe length

The length of the tube.

Pipe length additions

Extensions for bends, valves, etc. in the system converted to meters of pipe.

Material roughness

A material constant that indicates how smooth pipe material is.
