Back Pressure Calculation 1 PDF

This document calculates the back pressure in an exhaust line for an engine. It provides technical specifications for the engine including exhaust flow and temperature. It then calculates the back pressure contributions from individual components in the exhaust line including elbows, flexible sections, and pipes of varying diameters. The total back pressure of the exhaust line is calculated to be 1.52 inches of mercury, which is acceptable as it is below the engine's maximum recommended back pressure of 2.21 inches of mercury.
