Loss of head due to fluid resistance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Head Loss = Head of the Liquid*(1-(Coefficient of Velocity^2))
h_f = H*(1-(C_v^2))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Head of the Liquid - (Measured in Meter) - The Head of the liquid is the height of a liquid column that corresponds to a particular pressure exerted by the liquid column from the base of its container.
Coefficient of Velocity - The Coefficient of Velocity is the ratio of actual velocity to theoretical velocity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Head of the Liquid: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Velocity: 0.92 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_f = H*(1-(C_v^2)) --> 5*(1-(0.92^2))

Evaluating ... ...

h_f = 0.768

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.768 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.768 Meter <-- Head Loss
