The Darcy-Weisbach Equation Notes

The Darcy-Weisbach Equation Notes The Darcy-Weisbach equation is now considered the best empirical relation for pipe-flow resistance. In terms of head units it is,    (pipe friction) where, hl is the head loss, f is the friction factor, L is the pipe length, V is the average flow velocity, and g is the acceleration of gravity. In terms of pressure drop, Dp it is, where r is the fluid … Read more
