What is Head Loss due to Friction in Suction Pipe?

Head loss due to friction in a suction pipe is the reduction in fluid pressure as it flows through the pipe towards the pump. This pressure drop occurs because of resistance from the pipe's surface, length, bends, and the viscosity of the fluid. The frictional head loss affects the pump's ability to draw fluid efficiently, potentially leading to reduced flow rates or cavitation. Proper pipe design and material selection can help minimize these losses for optimal pump performance.
