[Simulation Best Practice Video: How to Minimize Pressure Loss](
Mentor Graphics Corporation
Eliminating or reducing pressure loss is a vital necessity for many applications. Pressure drop translates to a loss in energy which has to be compensated by a higher energy demand for the pump or fan to overcome that loss. [This video]( shows how to quickly and easily calculate pressure changes and increase energy efficiency through design-optimization.
