Head Loss of Friction in Hydraulics and Waterworks Formulas

Head Loss of Friction 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. And is denoted by H_f. Head Loss of Friction is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Head Loss of Friction is always negative.
