    1 Darcy Friction Calculator

    Uploaded by

    Tinashe Mutetwa
    This document contains calculations for head loss and friction loss in pipes using the Darcy-Weisbach equation. It provides two examples, one for a pipe with a diameter of 203.1 mm and one for a pipe with a diameter of 500 mm. For each example, it lists the given input values like flow rate, pipe diameter and length. It then calculates values like average velocity, Reynolds number, and Darcy friction factor to determine the head loss in the pipe. It also calculates the head loss contributed by fittings, valves, and other components. The total head loss is provided for each example pipe system.
