Head Loss due to Friction in Darcy Weisbach Equation Formulas

The Head Loss due to Friction refers to the loss of energy (or pressure) that occurs when a fluid flows through a pipe or duct due to the resistance created by the surface of the pipe. And is denoted by h. Head Loss due to Friction is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Head Loss due to Friction is always positive.
