Velocity
m/s

Results

h_f = f·(L/D)·v²/(2g).
4.0775m

At a glance:h_f = f·(L/D)·v²/(2g). Complements darcy-friction and head-loss.

Formula

h_f = f·(L/D)·v²/(2g).

$$h_f = f\,\dfrac{L}{D}\,\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$$

How to Use

  1. Enter f, L, D and v.
  2. The tool returns head loss.

Case Studies

f=0.02, L=100, D=0.1, v=2

h_f ≈ 4.08 m.

FAQ
