Head loss by Manning Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Head Loss = (Pipe Length*(Manning Coefficient*Flow Velocity)^2)/(0.157*(Diameter of Pipe)^(4/3))
h_f = (Lp_'*(n*v_f)^2)/(0.157*(D_p)^(4/3))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Head Loss - (Measured in Meter) - Head Loss is a measure of the reduction in the total head (sum of elevation head, velocity head and pressure head) of the fluid as it moves through a fluid system.
Pipe Length - (Measured in Meter) - Pipe Length describes the length of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.
Manning Coefficient - Manning Coefficient is dimensionless and varies depending on the type of channel or surface through which water flows.
Flow Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity refers to the speed at which a fluid, such as a liquid or gas, moves through a particular area within a given time.
Diameter of Pipe - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Pipe is the diameter of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pipe Length: 4.9 Meter --> 4.9 Meter No Conversion Required
Manning Coefficient: 0.009 --> No Conversion Required
Flow Velocity: 11.96 Meter per Second --> 11.96 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Diameter of Pipe: 0.4 Meter --> 0.4 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_f = (Lp_'*(n*v_f)^2)/(0.157*(D_p)^(4/3)) --> (4.9*(0.009*11.96)^2)/(0.157*(0.4)^(4/3))

Evaluating ... ...

h_f = 1.22696022450347

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.22696022450347 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.22696022450347 ≈ 1.22696 Meter <-- Head Loss
