Darcy formula for loss of head in pipes is given by, hf=4fl v2 / __________________?

Correct answer: A. 2gd

  • A. 2gd
  • B. gd
  • C. g2d
  • D. gd2

Explanation

Using the Darcy-Weisbach convention in the question, head loss is given by hf = 4fLv²/(2gd). The factor 4 appears when the friction factor is defined using the pipe-friction convention adopted in many water-engineering texts.
