δP = 0.5*ρ_air*V₂^2*(1-1/A_lift^2)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Pressure Difference - (Measured in Pascal) - Pressure Difference indicates the variance in pressure levels between the supply reservoir and the test area.
Air Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Air Density is the density of wind or air in the atmosphere.
Velocity at Point 2 - (Measured in Meter per Second) - velocity at Point 2 is the velocity of fluid passing through point 2 in a flow.
Contraction Ratio - Contraction ratio is the ratio of inlet area or reservoir area to the test section area or throat area of a duct.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Air Density: 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Velocity at Point 2: 0.664 Meter per Second --> 0.664 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
