Exhaust Pipe Back-Pressure Calculation

Using the value of exhaust gas flow and having calculated the
backpressure for a certain silencer (HD) you will be able to
determine the resistance to flow in a straight formula is
recommended.
L  Q2 1
P  6.32 
D5 (T C  273)

Where
P: is the backpressure through the exhaust pipe in Pa
L: is the total equivalent length of straight pipe in meters.
Q: is the exhaust gas flow in m3/s.
D: is the pipe diameter in meters
T: is the exhaust gas temperature oC
Note: When the bends are used in exhaust system pressure is
expressed in equivalent straight length of pipe.

Fitting Losses in Equivalent of Pipe

Total No. of elbows 14" of 90o is 8 units with equivalent length


7m each.
Total No. of elbows 10" of 90o is 2 units with equivalent length
4.84m each.
Total No. of elbows 10" of 45o is 2 units with equivalent length
3.94m each.
∑ Total Pipe Losses = 8 EL 14", 90o + 2 EL 10", 90o + 2 EL
10", 45o + Pipe length 14" (50m)
+ Pipe length 10" (3.6m)
+ Muffler Pressure Drop.
∑ Total Pipe Losses = 8X7 + 2X4.84 + 2X3.94
+ Pipe Pressure Loss + M
