Flow Rate:
Water Consumption (L/day) / 24
Temperature Difference:
|Inlet Temp - Outlet Temp|
Capacity = Flow Rate (L/hr) × Specific Heat (kJ/kg°C) × Temp Difference (°C)

Chiller Capacity (TR):
Capacity (KJ/Hr) / 12661.2
With Losses:
Chiller Capacity × 1.15
1 TR (Ton of Refrigeration) = 3.517 kW = 12661.2 kJ/hr

Pipe Diameter:
√(4 × Flow Rate / (π × Velocity))
Flow Velocity:
Flow Rate / (π × (Diameter/2)²)
Reynolds Number:
(Velocity × Diameter × Density) / Viscosity
Pressure Drop = f × (L/D) × (ρ × v²/2)
