Pressure Drop Via The Karman Method

This document provides calculations to determine pressure drop and flow rate based on the Karman method. It includes inputs like pipe length, diameter, fluid properties, and roughness. The calculations determine friction pressure drop using the Karman and Moody methods, obtaining a flow velocity, Reynolds number, and flow category. Constants are provided for the laminar, transition, and turbulent flow regions to calculate friction factor based on pipe roughness and Reynolds number. Results are presented for two examples calculating flow rate and pressure drop.
