Procedure and Scope

This Pressure Drop Calculator is designed for Newtonian Liquids and is for general use.
The methods used are Hooper's 2K and Darby's 3K method as they give the better curve fits for pressure loss
vs k factor data for various fittings. The advantage with both the methods is that K values are compensated
for change in Reynolds Number and pipe internal diameter as well, unlike other famous methods.
This compensation brings more accuracy to the pressure drop calculation at any flowrate.
User can input the Pipe ID from the standard drop down list or use their own data
Please check that proper option is chosen to input the pipe diameter
Though the spreadsheet takes input parameters in metric system, the corresponding
calculated values in IP system give a clue to the user if they are not comfortable with metric system
The friction factor is calculated using Poiseuille's equation for laminar flow and Colebrook's equation
for transitional and turbulent flows. However, Katmar's (fellow member at eng-tips.com) version of Churchill
be used as one single equation for all kinds of flow. I must appreciate Katmar (Harvey) for this.
I personally opine that, as both Hooper's and Darby's methods give better pressure loss values when compared
with conventional methods, collective data can be used for final pressure drop calculation, in the absence of
suitable correlations. For ex. as there are no correlations of K, incase of Darby, for miters other than 2 welds
and also for reducers, expanders and orifices, Hooper's values can be included to the final value
of Darby's. I didn't include this in my calculation, at this juncture, and it is users discretion
to use any other suitable method or logic.
This calculator is comfortable with single pipe size and I suggest, if there is a variation of pipe size, to
calculate the sections independantly. In a nut shell, my suggestion is not to calculate reducer and expander
pressure drops in a single step.
The friction factor worksheet calculates Darcy's friction factor by Colebrook's equation. However,
When dealing with Colebrook's equation, 5 steps of iteration are generally sufficient.
I also included other explicit equations for the calculation of friction factor, based on the article
Estimate friction factor accurately by TK Serghides appeared in March' 84 volume of Chemical Engineering
Magazine.

Good Luck,
