Frictional pressure drop (Economides and Nolte)

Input(s)

q: Injection Rate (bbl/min)

μ\mu : Fluid Viscosity (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

ρ\rho: Density of Fluid (g/cc)(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})

D: Tubing Diameter (in.)

L: Tubing Length (ft)

Output(s)

ΔPf:\Delta P_{f:} \quad Frictional Pressure Drop (psi)

Formula(s)

ΔPf=518ρ0.79q1.79μ0.207L1000D4.79\Delta P_{f}=518 * \rho^{0.79} * q^{1.79} * \mu^{0.207} * \frac{L}{1000 * D^{4.79}}
