Karman DP

This document presents calculations to determine pressure drop and flow rate in a pipe based on the Karman and Moody methods. Key parameters provided include a pipe length of 46m, diameter of 1 inch, fluid density and viscosity, and pipe roughness. The Reynolds number, Darcy-Weisbach friction factor, and resulting pressure drops from each method are calculated. The flow rate determined from the pressure drop using each method is shown to be approximately 1.01 m3/h.
