Head loss in Fluid Mechanics Formulas

The Head loss is the reduction in total mechanical energy of a fluid as it flows through a pipe, often due to friction and other resistive forces. And is denoted by h_f. Head loss is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Head loss is always negative.
