Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The approximate head loss in a 1,500-foot long section of 6-inch diameter galvanized iron pipe conveying water at a velocity of 5 feet per second is 23.3 feet. Solution: Use the Darcy-Weisbach equation H_L = f (L/D)(V² /2g) Given, f = Darcy friction factor = 0.02 D = 0.5 feet L = 1,500 feet V = 5 feet/ second g = 32.2 feet² /second Therefore, H_L = f (L/D)(V² /2g) = 0.02 (1,500 / 0.5) (5² /2(32.2)) = 23.3 feet
