Fluid Work Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Fluid Work.
Wfluid = P*A*s
- Where Wfluid is the Fluid Work (Joules)
- P is the fluid pressure (N/m^2)
- A is the area (m^2)
- s is the distance (m)
How to Calculate Fluid Work?
The following example problems outline how to calculate the Fluid Work.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the fluid pressure (N/m^2). In this example, the fluid pressure (N/m^2) is given as 5 .
- Next, determine the area (m^2). For this problem, the area (m^2) is given as 5 .
- Next, determine the distance (m). In this case, the distance (m) is found to be 10.
- Finally, calculate the Fluid Work using the formula above:
Wfluid = P*A*s
Inserting the values from above and solving yields:
Wfluid = 5*5*10 = 250 (Joules)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the equation. For this example problem, these are provided as:
fluid pressure (N/m^2) = 8
area (m^2) = 8
distance (m) = 20
Enter these given values yields:
Wfluid = 8*8*20 = 1280 (Joules)
