What is head loss due to friction in viscous flow?

Head loss is potential energy that is converted to kinetic energy. Head losses are due to the frictional resistance of the piping system (a pipe, valves, fittings, entrance, and exit losses). Unlike the velocity head, the friction head cannot be ignored in system calculations. Values vary as the square of the flow rate.

What is friction in viscous flow?

The amount of friction depends on the fluid viscosity and the velocity gradient (that is, the relative velocity between fluid layers). The velocity gradients are set up by the no-slip condition at the wall.

How to Calculate Length of Pipe for Head Loss due to Friction in Viscous Flow?

Length of Pipe for Head Loss due to Friction in Viscous Flow calculator uses Length of Pipe = (Loss of Head*Diameter of Pipe*2*[g])/(4*Coefficient of Friction*Average Velocity^2) to calculate the Length of Pipe, Length of Pipe for Head Loss due to Friction in Viscous Flow can be calculated using the Darcy-Weisbach equation, which relates it to factors such as the pipe diameter, flow velocity, viscosity of the fluid, and the friction factor (which incorporates the roughness of the pipe wall). This calculation helps in determining how much the pressure head decreases along the length of the pipe due to frictional losses caused by viscous effects. Length of Pipe is denoted by L symbol.
