Compressible flow in a horizontal circular tube

Input(s)

p0\boldsymbol{p}_{\mathbf{0}}: Pressure at Initial Point (Pa)(\mathrm{Pa})

pL\boldsymbol{p}_{\boldsymbol{L}}: Pressure at Point L(Pa)\mathrm{L}(\mathrm{Pa})

R\mathrm{R}: Radius (m)(\mathrm{m})

μ\mu: Viscosity (kg/(ms))(\mathrm{kg} /(\mathrm{ms}))

L: Length (m)

ρavg \boldsymbol{\rho}_{\text {avg }}: Average Density (kg/m3)\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)

Output(s)

ω\omega: Mass Rate of Flow (kg/s)(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s})

Formula(s)

ω=π(p0pL)R4ρavg8μL\omega=\frac{\pi *\left(p_{0}-p_{L}\right) * R^{4} * \rho_{a v g}}{8 * \mu * L}
