This document provides an equation to calculate pressure change (Δp) based on flow rate (Q), viscosity (μ), radius of the wellbore (Rw) and formation (Rf), and permeability (k). It then works through an example calculation with given values for these variables in standard units to solve for the pressure change in psi. The key steps are: 1) The equation for pressure change is given in terms of flow rate, viscosity, radii, permeability, and height. 2) Values for the variables are provided and converted to consistent units. 3) The calculation is carried out step-by-step to find that the pressure change equals 3.3938 * 10-3 psi.
