Pressure Coefficient
The pressure coefficient is important in most fluid flow situations

The pressure coefficient is is the ratio of pressure forces to inertial forces and can be expressed as
Cp = dP/(ρ v2 /2)
= dh (ρ v2 /2 g) (1)
where
Cp = pressure coefficient
dp = pressure difference (N)
ρ = fluid density (kg/m3)
v = flow velocity (m/s)
dh = head (m)
g = acceleration of gravity (= 9.91 m/s2)
The pressure coefficient is important in most fluid flow applications.
