Distance between Plates given Pressure Head Drop

Go Width = sqrt((12*Dynamic Viscosity*Length of Pipe*Mean Velocity)/(Specific Weight of Liquid*Head Loss due to Friction))

Length of Pipe given Pressure Head Drop

Go Length of Pipe = (Specific Weight of Liquid*Width*Width*Head Loss due to Friction)/(12*Dynamic Viscosity*Mean Velocity)
