Line Sizing Calculation 1

The document provides input and output data for analyzing flow through a pipe. It calculates parameters like velocity, Reynolds number, friction factor using Churchill and Colebrook equations, and pressure drop using Darcy-Weisland Churchill equations. It then checks that the calculated velocity and pressure drop are within specified limits for the given pipe size.

Calculating Pressure Drop for 30.48m(1ft) length of pipe


Using Darcy-Weisbach equation

Using Churchill Equation friction factor


Δp=f*L/D*pv^2/2

h=f* L/D* V^2/2g

Pressure Drop using Churchill Equation friction factor gives us 1023.922 N/m2
0.148507 psi

Pressure Drop using Colebrook Equation friction factor gives us 1019.571 N/m2
0.147876 psi
