hello

I have an issue with calculating pressure losses. I'm simulating the flow of a fluid inside a pipe. I specified the conditions at the inlet: velocity of 1.1 m/s and initial gauge pressure of 220327.95 Pascal. I was advised to set the operating pressure to 0 Pa. For the outlet, I selected "pressure-outlet", leaving all the default information.
With these data, if I calculate the total pressure at the inlet and outlet by taking the difference between the average of the maximum and minimum values at the inlet and outlet, should that difference be my pressure drop?

greetings

Have you done any of the Tutorials in Help, or reviewed the Learning content?

to be honest no, could you please lead me where to find learning content for my topic problem?

Start here - Learning. Pipe flow will be covered but tutorials tend to be fairly generic so you may need to take sections of several to solve your specific problem.
