Excuse me, how do I calculate the hydraulic gradient?
Thread Content
Given the flow rate of the liquid and the diameter of the pipe, can the hydraulic gradient be calculated? What formula should be used?
“\"Hydraulic gradient\" refers to the difference in total head (potential energy + pressure energy + velocity head) between two cross-sections, divided by the distance between those cross-sections.
I feel it means the same thing as resistance loss; the units may vary sometimes, but the formula is roughly the same.
