Driving Pressure Calculator

The Driving Pressure Calculator is a tool used to calculate the driving pressure in a fluid system. The driving pressure represents the pressure difference that propels the flow of fluid through a pipe or channel. It is a critical parameter in fluid dynamics and is often used to analyze and design fluid systems.

Formula

The formula to calculate driving pressure is:

Driving Pressure = P1 – P2

where P1 is the pressure at the starting point of the flow and P2 is the pressure at the endpoint of the flow.

Example

If the pressure at the starting point is 100 psi and the pressure at the endpoint is 80 psi, the driving pressure would be:

Driving Pressure = 100 psi – 80 psi = 20 psi
