Fluid kinetic force in conduits
Input(s)
R: Radius \((\mathrm{ft})\)
L: Length \((\mathrm{ft})\)
\(\rho\): Density of Fluid \(\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
v: Velocity of Fluid \((\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})\)
f: Friction Factor (dimensionless)
Output(s)
\(\boldsymbol{F}_{\boldsymbol{k}}\): Force of Fluid Flow (N)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{k}}=\pi * \mathrm{R} * \mathrm{~L} * \rho *\left(\mathrm{v}^{2}\right) * \mathrm{f}
\]
