STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Head Loss due to Friction: 2.5 Meter --> 2.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Discharge in Pipe: 1.000001 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.000001 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Specific Weight of Liquid: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Pipe: 1.01 Meter --> 1.01 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_p = h/((128*μ*Q)/(pi*γ_f*D_pipe^4)) --> 2.5/((128*1.02*1.000001)/(pi*9810*1.01^4))
