Abstract

A computer code representing fluid flow is described which calculates the pressure gradient in the entry region of a rigid tube. The velocity profile is calculated from graphical correction of known flow equations. Poiseuille's model, a simplification of the z-momentum equation, is used as a basis for the calculations. The results obtained compare favorably with the literature.
