Exhaust Pipe Back-Pressure Calculation: T D Q L P
Exhaust Pipe Back-Pressure Calculation: T D Q L P
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.
