08 - Pressure Drop & Flowrate-Karman

This document provides calculations to determine pressure drop and flow rate based on the Karman method. Input parameters include flow rate, pipe length, diameter, fluid density, viscosity, and roughness. The Karman number, Reynolds number, and flow category are calculated. Pressure drop is determined using both the Karman and Moody methods, showing a 14% difference. Flow velocity, Reynolds number, flow type, and Karman number are also output for a given set of parameters. Constants for the laminar, transition, and turbulent flow regions in the Moody diagram are provided.
