How to Calculate Head loss in Reach?
Head loss in Reach calculator uses Head Loss in Reach = Static Heads at End Sections at (1)+Height above Channel Slope at 1+(Mean Velocity at End Sections at (1)^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))-Static Head at End Sections at (2)-Height above Channel Slope at 2-Mean Velocity at End Sections at (2)^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity) to calculate the Head Loss in Reach, The Head loss in Reach formula is defined as the potential energy that is converted to kinetic energy. Head losses are due to the frictional resistance of the piping system pipe, valves, fittings, entrance, and exit losses. Head Loss in Reach is denoted by hl symbol.
How to calculate Head loss in Reach using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Head loss in Reach, enter Static Heads at End Sections at (1) (Z1), Height above Channel Slope at 1 (y1), Mean Velocity at End Sections at (1) (V1), Acceleration due to Gravity (g), Static Head at End Sections at (2) (Z2), Height above Channel Slope at 2 (y2) & Mean Velocity at End Sections at (2) (V2) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Head loss in Reach calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.969388 = 11.5+14+(10^2/(2*9.8))-11-13-9^2/(2*9.8).
