Relates pressure drop p_{out} - p_{in} on the choke with the flowrate through the choke q arising from fluid friction with choke elements:
(1) | p_{in} - p_{out} = \frac{\rho \cdot (1- \beta^4)}{0.125 \, \pi^2 \, d^4 \, C_d^2} \cdot q^2 |
where
\rho | fluid density |
d | orifice diameter |
D | pipe diameter |
\beta = \frac{d}{D} | choke narrowing ratio |
C_d |
