`Rx = rho *pi*( d /2)^2* v ^2*(1-cos (beta))`
Enter a value for all fields
The resulting force in x-direction due to mass flow and flow velocity can be expressed as:
Rx = ρ π (d / 2)2 v2 (1 - cosβ)
where
- Rx = resulting force in x-direction (N)
- v = flow velocity (m/s) β = turning bend angle (degrees)
- ρ = fluid density (kg/m3)
- d = internal pipe or bend diameter (m)
