Thermal and fluid mechanics calculators for Reynolds number, pipe flow pressure drop, steady-state heat transfer and linear thermal expansion. Ideal for HVAC engineers, process engineers and anyone analysing fluid systems or heat exchangers.
Calculate theoretical thrust, actual thrust (with load coefficient λ), piston velocity, and output power for double-acting hydraulic cylinders in advance and retract strokes. Input bore diameter, rod diameter, pressures on both sides, supply flow rate, and load coefficient — suitable for hydraulic system selection and verification.
Calculate volumetric flow rate and velocity for orifice plate, Venturi tube, and Pitot tube differential-pressure flowmeters based on Bernoulli's equation. Enter orifice (or throat) diameter, pressure difference, fluid density, and discharge coefficient — suitable for engineering flow measurement in water, oil, and gas pipe systems.
