What is coefficient of friction?

The coefficient of friction is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of one body in relation to another body in contact with it.

What is an equivalent pipe?

If several pipes of different lengths and diameter are connected in series, they can be replaced by a single pipe called an equivalent pipe. This equivalent pipe of the same diameter will have the same loss head and discharge that several pipes connected in series will have.
