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

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.
