Pipe Flow Calculations is a professional engineering app designed for accurate and fast calculation of fluid flow in pipes. It helps engineers, technicians, and students analyze flow behavior, pressure losses, and key fluid parameters in real-world systems. Whether you are designing a pipeline, checking an existing system, or learning fluid mechanics, this app provides reliable results with an intuitive interface. Key Features - Pressure drop calculation - Pipe diameter and flow rate calculations - Flow velocity and Reynolds number - Friction factor and fluid properties - Support for multiple calculation scenarios - Metric and Imperial unit systems - Accurate engineering formulas and methods Designed for Real Engineering Use This app is not a basic calculator. It is built for real engineering workflows: - Analyze pipe systems and optimize performance - Compare different calculation scenarios - Work with realistic fluid properties - Get instant results for quick decision making Useful for Students and Professionals
Solar Pump

Solar Pump sizes battery-less solar pumping systems (direct to tank), built for the field. Tell it how much water you need and the head, and it computes the solar array size and the pump class — no need to know panels or electricity. WORKS OFFLINE All the math is local. No signal, no data needed — use it at the well, on the farm, anywhere. WHAT IT COMPUTES • The solar array needed (Wp / kW) • Suggested pump power in kW and HP • Design flow and pipe velocity • Total dynamic head (TDH) from your pipe and static head • The suggested pump class for your duty point • Daily system energy SIZED FOR THE WORST MONTH The system is sized on the peak sun hours of your region's lowest-radiation month, so it delivers water year-round — even in the cloudiest season. ESTIMATE YOUR WATER DEMAND Not sure of your m³/day? The app estimates it for you: • Livestock: dairy and beef cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep and goats, and more • Crops: by area and irrigation method (drip, sprinkler, furrow) Or enter the daily volume directly. 21 COUNTRIES, 3 LANGUAGES Available across all of Latin America plus Brazil, Australia and the United States — 21 countries, each with its region's real solar resource (NASA POWER, 20-year climatology). Switch between English, Spanish and Portuguese anytime. ADVANCED SETTINGS Fine-tune the pump-and-motor efficiency, array losses (derate) and well drawdown to match your case. Solar Pump, by Transparent Blue Water. For preliminary sizing: always verify results with engineering judgment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Pipe Flow Calculations at 13.0 against Solar Pump's 15.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
