STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Discharge in Pipe: 1.000001 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.000001 Cubic 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 = ((128*μ*Q*L_p)/(pi*γ_f*h))^(1/4) --> ((128*1.02*1.000001*0.1)/(pi*9810*2.5))^(1/4)

Evaluating ... ...
