13D API Hydraulics Equations

This document contains equations for calculating pipe flow, annular flow, pressure drop, and slip velocity in hydraulic systems. It provides the following key equations: Pipe flow is calculated using the Darcy-Weisbach equation which relates pressure drop to flow rate, pipe diameter, roughness, and friction factor. Annular flow considers the flow between an inner and outer pipe using similar equations. Slip velocity, the difference between the particle and fluid velocity, is determined based on particle and fluid properties like density, diameter, and viscosity using an empirical correlation. The friction factor is then adjusted based on the calculated slip velocity. Pressure drops across pipe sections, nozzles, and other components can be estimated using the friction
