How to determine head loss due to friction in pipe flow?

Head loss due to friction is calculated by this given equation, H = f*l*(v^2)/2*g*d ;where, 'H' is the Head loss due to pipe friction, 'f' is darcy's friction factor, 'l' is pipe length, 'v' is mean velocity of fluid flow, 'g' is acceleration due to gravity, 'd' is the pipe diameter. We get the value of darcy's friction factor with the help of moody's diagram.

What is Moody's Diagram?

Moody's Diagram is a vital tool for determining the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor (f) in pipe flow. In moody's digaram X-axis is represents 'Reynolds Number' , Y-axis is represents 'Friction Factor'. In moody diagram there are several curves for different flow regime. We determine the Reynolds Number (Re) based on our pipe diameter, fluid properties, and flow rate. We identify the relative roughness (ε/D) for our specific pipe material and age. After this we locate the intersection point on the Moody's Diagram corresponding to these values of Re and ε/D according to flow regime curve. Corresponding to the point on the graph we read the friction factor (f) value from the Y-axis at that intersection point.
