Internal Diameter of Pipe given Head Loss Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diameter of Pipe = (4*Darcy's Coefficient of Friction*Length of Pipe*(Average Velocity in Pipe Fluid Flow)^2)/(2*[g]*Head Loss)
D_p = (4*f*L_p*(v_avg)^2)/(2*[g]*h_f)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Diameter of Pipe - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Pipe is the diameter of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.
Darcy's Coefficient of Friction - Darcy's Coefficient of Friction refers to a parameter used to characterize the flow of water or other fluids through porous media, such as soil or rock.
Length of Pipe - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Pipe describes the length of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.
Average Velocity in Pipe Fluid Flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity in Pipe Fluid Flow is the total volumetric flow rate divided by the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Darcy's Coefficient of Friction: 0.045 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Pipe: 2.5 Meter --> 2.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Average Velocity in Pipe Fluid Flow: 4.57 Meter per Second --> 4.57 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Head Loss: 1.2 Meter --> 1.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_p = (4*f*L_p*(v_avg)^2)/(2*[g]*h_f) --> (4*0.045*2.5*(4.57)^2)/(2*[g]*1.2)

Evaluating ... ...

D_p = 0.399312583807926

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.399312583807926 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.399312583807926 ≈ 0.399313 Meter <-- Diameter of Pipe
