Pressure Drop Calculation Example

The document summarizes pressure drop calculations for water flowing from a pump discharge to a radiator through a 323.9mm diameter pipe. It lists parameters like pressure, temperature, flow rate and pipe dimensions. It then calculates the Reynolds number, friction factor and equivalent lengths of fittings to determine the total pipe length. Based on this, it finds that the total pressure drop is 0.2676 bar.
