The loss of head due to friction according to Darcy's formula is _____________________?

Correct answer: B. 4fLv2/2gd

  • A. 4fLv2/gd
  • B. 4fLv2/2gd
  • C. 4fLv/gd
  • D. 4fLv/2gd

Explanation

Darcy-Weisbach loss is h_f = 4f(L/D)(v²/2g) when f is the commonly used Fanning friction factor; this is option b. If f is defined as the Darcy friction factor, the leading 4 is omitted, so the friction-factor convention matters.
