You should know pressure drop before designing equipment

Is a pressure drop an output from a calculation, or is it an input into the design process? Is it both? I explain I what I found confusing about equipment design.
00:00 Intro
00:51 Why I was confused
01:55 Pressure drop budgets
04:38 Pressure drop on datasheets
06:05 Plant size doesn't matter
07:18 Conclusion
Process with Pat is the place to come for perspective and to ask stupid questions. I want you to leave more knowledgeable, confident, motivated, and most importantly, curious. I also want to invigorate a field that seems tired and uninspiring, at least if you get your perspective from internet forums. These are not lectures. This is a place for you to leave thinking “Oh! That’s why...”
This channel is not only for chemical engineers - anyone who works with processes should be able to find something of value here.

01:09 We calculate pressure drops for the equipment we design all the time in college. Wish someone had explained this to me earlier! Thanks Pat!

Glad I could help! The other problem I found was that you don't really know what question to ask - like you don't know what you don't know... Subscribe! More to come...

Absolutely...

[@rasmussverdrup7479]

Great explanation!

[@ProcesswithPat]

Honoured by your presence! Even the experts need a refresher, huh?

[@hugodevin8570]

Hi Pat,
Great video, thanks !
But how is the pressure drop budget chosen when the PFD is made ? On which criteria ?

[@NikolayBychkovRus]

Hi, Hugo. I am not Pat, but I can answer- it depends on pump and pipelines of the system. And that part vary on size and cost (and history, if it is brownfield).
