Delta P Calculation

This document contains calculations of pressure drop for liquid flow through pipes. It provides the inputs of liquid properties, pipe dimensions and flow rate, and calculates the flow velocity, Reynolds number, friction factor, frictional pressure drop per unit length, and total pressure drop accounting for friction and elevation changes. The calculations are shown for two examples of oil flow through pipes of different diameters and lengths.
