Engineering
Reynolds Number Calculator
Calculate the Reynolds number — the dimensionless ratio of inertial to viscous forces in a flowing fluid — to determine whether flow is laminar, transitional, or turbulent. Use it for pipe-flow design, mixing analysis, drag prediction, and selecting the right friction-factor correlation.

Engineering
Pipe Pressure Drop Calculator
Calculate frictional pressure drop in a pipe using the Darcy-Weisbach equation, given friction factor, length, diameter, and fluid velocity. Use it for pump sizing, HVAC duct design, and fluid distribution system layout.
