Solution:

A rough pipe of 0.5 m diameter, 300 m length and roughness height of 0.25 mm, carries water (kinematic viscosity = 0.9 x 10-6 m2/s) with velocity of 3m/s. Friction factor (f) for laminar flow is given by f = 64/Re, and for turbulent flow it is given by

1/√f = 2log10 (r/k) +1.74

Where, Re = Reynolds number

r = radius of pipe

k = roughness height and g = 9.81 m/s2. The head loss (in m, up to 3 decimal places) in the pipe due to friction is_____.

Solution:
