Variables Used

Average Velocity in Pipe Fluid Flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity in Pipe Fluid Flow is the total volumetric flow rate divided by the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
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.
Length of Pipe - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Pipe describes the length of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.
Diameter of Pipe - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Pipe is the diameter of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.
Coefficient of Roughness of Pipe - Coefficient of Roughness of Pipe is a dimensionless parameter used in environmental engineering, particularly in fluid mechanics and hydraulics.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Head Loss: 1.2 Meter --> 1.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Pipe: 2.5 Meter --> 2.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Diameter of Pipe: 0.4 Meter --> 0.4 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Roughness of Pipe: 31.33 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_avg = (h_f/((6.78*L_p)/((D_p^(1.165))*C^(1.85))))^(1/1.85) --> (1.2/((6.78*2.5)/((0.4^(1.165))*31.33^(1.85))))^(1/1.85)

Evaluating ... ...

v_avg = 4.20484855836018

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.20484855836018 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.20484855836018 ≈ 4.204849 Meter per Second <-- Average Velocity in Pipe Fluid Flow
