Description
Calculate pressure drop for single-phase liquid flow in pipes using the Fanning equation. Applicable to water injection, water disposal, and single-phase oil lines.
Pressure Components:
- Friction: Depends on flow rate, viscosity, pipe roughness
- Gravity: Depends on density and elevation change
