Friction Power Loss Calculator

Power loss due to friction (P_f):

Friction Force (F_f):

Velocity (v):

How This Is Calculated

$$ P_f = F_f \cdot v $$ where:

P_f = Power loss due to friction (W)

F_f = Friction Force (N)

v = Velocity at which the frictional force is applied (m/s)

Assumptions

The system is in steady state.
Frictional force remains constant.
Flow is one-dimensional.
Heat dissipation is negligible.
There are no additional external forces.
