Total Head Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Total Head = Elevation Head+Pressure Head
Ht = z+hp
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Total Head - (Measured in Meter) - Total Head is the total equivalent height that a fluid is to be pumped, taking into account friction losses in the pipe.
Elevation Head - (Measured in Meter) - Elevation Head is the energy per unit mass possessed by a fluid as a result of its height above some reference level.
Pressure Head - (Measured in Meter) - Pressure Head is the height of a liquid column that corresponds to a particular pressure exerted by the liquid column on the base of its container.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Elevation Head: 38 Millimeter --> 0.038 Meter (Check conversion here)
Pressure Head: 82 Millimeter --> 0.082 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Ht = z+hp --> 0.038+0.082
Evaluating ... ...
Ht = 0.12
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.12 Meter -->12 Centimeter (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
12 Centimeter <-- Total Head
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

7 Groundwater Hydrology Calculators

Representative Particle Size given Reynolds Number of Value Unity
Go Representative Particle Size = (Reynolds Number*Kinematic Viscosity)/Apparent Velocity of Seepage
Kinematic Viscosity of Water given Reynolds Number of Value Unity
Go Kinematic Viscosity = (Apparent Velocity of Seepage*Representative Particle Size)/Reynolds Number
Reynolds Number of Value Unity
Go Reynolds Number = (Apparent Velocity of Seepage*Representative Particle Size)/Kinematic Viscosity
Darcy's Law
Go Rate of Flow = -Hydraulic Conductivity*Cross-Sectional Area*Hydraulic Gradient
Pressure Head for given Total Head
Go Pressure Head = Total Head-Elevation Head
Elevation Head using Total Head
Go Elevation Head = Total Head-Pressure Head
Total Head
Go Total Head = Elevation Head+Pressure Head

Total Head Formula

Total Head = Elevation Head+Pressure Head
Ht = z+hp

What is Total Head?

The sum of the Elevation head, Pressure head, and Velocity head of a liquid. For ground water, the velocity-head component is generally negligible.

How to Calculate Total Head?

Total Head calculator uses Total Head = Elevation Head+Pressure Head to calculate the Total Head, Total Head is defined as the sum of elevation head and is the distance from the datum plane to the point where the pressure head hp. Total Head is denoted by Ht symbol.

How to calculate Total Head using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Total Head, enter Elevation Head (z) & Pressure Head (hp) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Total Head calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1200 = 0.038+0.082.

FAQ

What is Total Head?
Total Head is defined as the sum of elevation head and is the distance from the datum plane to the point where the pressure head hp and is represented as Ht = z+hp or Total Head = Elevation Head+Pressure Head. Elevation Head is the energy per unit mass possessed by a fluid as a result of its height above some reference level & Pressure Head is the height of a liquid column that corresponds to a particular pressure exerted by the liquid column on the base of its container.
How to calculate Total Head?
Total Head is defined as the sum of elevation head and is the distance from the datum plane to the point where the pressure head hp is calculated using Total Head = Elevation Head+Pressure Head. To calculate Total Head, you need Elevation Head (z) & Pressure Head (hp). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Elevation Head & Pressure Head and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
