Continuity Equation for Density formula

  • This formula calculates the initial density of the fluid.

\( \rho_1 \;=\; \rho_2 \; A_2 \; v_2 \;/\; A_1 \; v_1 \)     (Continuity Equation for Density)

\( \rho_2 \;=\; \rho_1 \; A_1 \; v_1 \;/\; A_2 \; v_2 \)

\( A_2 \;=\; \rho_1 \; A_1 \; v_1 \;/\; \rho_2 \; v_2 \) 

\( v_2 \;=\; \rho_1 \; A_1 \; v_1 \;/\; \rho_2 \; A_2 \)

\( A_1 \;=\; \rho_2 \; A_2 \; v_2 \;/\; \rho_1 \; v_1 \)

\( v_1 \;=\; \rho_2 \; A_2 \; v_2 \;/\; \rho_1 \; A_1 \) 

Symbol English Metric
\( \rho_1 \)  (Greek symbol rho) =  Initial Cross-section Density \(lbm \;/\; ft^3\) \(kg \;/\; m^3\)
\( \rho_2 \)  (Greek symbol rho) =  Final Area Cross-section Density \(lbm \;/\; ft^3\) \(kg \;/\; m^3\)
\( A_2 \) = Final Area Cross-section \(in^2\) \(mm^2\)
\( v_2 \) = Final Area Cross-section Velocity \(ft \;/\; sec\) \(m \;/\; s\)
\( A_1 \) = Initial Area Cross-section \(in^2\) \(mm^2\)
\( v_1 \) = Initial Area Cross-section Velocity \(ft \;/\; sec\) \(m \;/\; s\)
