Loss of head due to sudden enlargement Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Loss of head due to sudden enlargement?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

h L = \frac{{(V i - V o)}^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.81}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

h L = \frac{{(8.2m/s - 5.5m/s)}^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.81}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

h L = \frac{{(8.2 - 5.5)}^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.81}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

h L = 0.371559633027523m

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

h L = 0.3716m
