STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Mean Velocity: 10.1 Meter per Second --> 10.1 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length of Pipe: 0.1 Meter --> 0.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Weight of Liquid: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Head Loss due to Friction: 2.5 Meter --> 2.5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_pipe = sqrt((32*μ*V_mean*L_p)/(γ_f*h)) --> sqrt((32*1.02*10.1*0.1)/(9810*2.5))

Evaluating ... ...

What is head loss in fluids?

The head, pressure, or energy (they are the same) lost by water flowing in a pipe or channel as a result of turbulence caused by the velocity of the flowing water and the roughness of the pipe, channel walls, or fittings. Water flowing in a pipe loses head as a result of friction losses.
