Pressure losses

Pressure loss in the high-pressure flushing hose

The highest pressure losses can be found in the high-pressure flushing hose. According to [Geib2002] the calculation of these losses, resulting from the turbulent flow, is performed using the following equation:

with:
hv = Friction loss height [m] or pressure loss [bar]
l = Hose length [m]
d = Internal diameter of the hose [m]
vm = Average flow velocity [m/s] in the hose
l = Pipe coefficient of friction [-]
g = Gravity [m/s2]
