  2. Barlow's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow's_formula

    The formula is also common in the pipeline industry to verify that pipe used for gathering, transmission, and distribution lines can safely withstand operating pressures. The design factor is multiplied by the resulting pressure which gives the maximum operating pressure (MAOP) for the pipeline.

  3. Communicating vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_vessels

    Since the days of ancient Rome, the concept of communicating vessels has been used for indoor plumbing, via aquifers and lead pipes. Water will reach the same level in all parts of the system, which acts as communicating vessels, regardless of what the lowest point is of the pipes – although in practical terms the lowest point of the system depends on the ability of the plumbing to withstand ...

  4. Pascal's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_law

    Pressure in water and air. Pascal's law applies for fluids. Pascal's principle is defined as: A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid at rest is transmitted equally and undiminished to all points in all directions throughout the fluid, and the force due to the pressure acts at right angles to the enclosing walls.

  5. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    For velocities and pipe diameters above a threshold, actual fluid flow is not laminar but turbulent, leading to larger pressure drops than calculated by the Hagen–Poiseuille equation. Poiseuille's equation describes the pressure drop due to the viscosity of the fluid; other types of pressure drops may still occur in a fluid (see a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_(reggae_musician)

    Delyno Brown (born August 5, 1981), [citation needed] [1] better known as Pressure or Pressure Busspipe, is a reggae musician from Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. [2] He gained his early experience working on the Star Lion sound system in the late 1990s. [3] His debut album, The Pressure Is On, was produced by Dean Pond and released in 2005.

  7. Theory of sonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_sonics

    If we have a vessel d, with a large volume compared with the stroke volume of piston b, the capacity d will act as a spring storing the energy of direct or reflected waves at high pressure, and giving back energy when the pressure falls. The mean pressure in d and in the pipe will be the same, but the pipe will have a stationary wave as a ...

  8. Moody chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

    In engineering, the Moody chart or Moody diagram (also Stanton diagram) is a graph in non-dimensional form that relates the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f D, Reynolds number Re, and surface roughness for fully developed flow in a circular pipe. It can be used to predict pressure drop or flow rate down such a pipe.

  9. Multiphase flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiphase_flow

    The pressure difference between the beginning and the end of the pressure gradient is known as the pressure drop. The Darcy-Weisbach equation can be utilised to calculate pressure drop in a channel. The viscous force acts on a surface or area element and tends to make the flow uniform by diminishing velocity differences between phases ...
