Water flows at 10 m³/s in a 150-cm-diameter pipe; the head loss in a 1000-m length of this pipe is 20 m. Find the rate of energy loss due to pipe friction.

Step 1
The diameter of the pipe is given as 150 cm, so the radius is half of that, which is 75 cm or 0.75 m. The cross-sectional area can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2. Plugging in the value for the radius, we get A = π(0.75)^2 = Show more…

Water flows through a pipe of diameter 300 mm with a velocity of 5 m/s. If the coefficient of friction is given by f = 0.015 + 0.08 Re^0.3, find the head loss due to friction for a length of 10 m of this pipe. Take v = 0.01 x 10 m/s.
