Information

Overview

Calculates the pressure drop in a radiator according to manufacturer data

Concept

The pressure drop is calculated according to the following equation [1].

Delta_P = K*m_flow^2

In order to determine K, manufacturer data is used and :

Pressure Drop

With the help of the Matlab Curve Fit Toolbox a curve y = K*x^2 is fitted through several selected points.
