What is head loss due to friction in viscous flow?
Head loss is potential energy that is converted to kinetic energy. Head losses are due to the frictional resistance of the piping system (a pipe, valves, fittings, entrance, and exit losses). Unlike the velocity head, the friction head cannot be ignored in system calculations. Values vary as the square of the flow rate.
How to Calculate Length of Pipe for Head Loss due to Friction in Viscous Flow?
Length of Pipe for Head Loss due to Friction in Viscous Flow calculator uses Length of Pipe = (Loss of Head*Diameter of Pipe*2*[g])/(4*Coefficient of Friction*Average Velocity^2) to calculate the Length of Pipe, The Length of pipe for head loss due to friction in viscous flow formula is known while considering the coefficient of friction, loss of head, length, and diameter of the pipe. Length of Pipe is denoted by L symbol.
