Length of Pipe given Pressure Head Drop Formula Elements

Variables
Length of Pipe
The Length of Pipe refers to total length from one end to another in which the liquid is flowing.
Symbol: Lp
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Specific Weight of Liquid
The Specific Weight of Liquid refers to the weight per unit volume of that substance.
Symbol: γf
Measurement: Specific WeightUnit: kN/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Width
Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Symbol: w
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Head Loss due to Friction
The Head Loss due to Friction occurs due to the effect of the fluid's viscosity near the surface of the pipe or duct.
Symbol: hlocation
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Dynamic Viscosity
The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the internal resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied.
Symbol: μ
