The Hagen Technique

The Hagen Technique is a method used to analyze fluid flow in pipelines or systems, focusing on how pressure, flow rate, and pipe characteristics interact. It involves applying principles from fluid dynamics, specifically the Hagen-Poiseuille law, which describes how viscous fluids move through narrow tubes. The technique helps engineers determine factors like pressure drops and flow rates by considering variables such as fluid viscosity, pipe diameter, and length. It’s useful for designing efficient piping systems and ensuring proper fluid delivery, especially in applications like water supply, chemical processing, and HVAC systems.
