Darcy-Weisbach Calculator
Darcy-Weisbach Equation is used to find the head loss and pressure loss, due to friction along a given length of pipe to the average velocity of the fluid flow for an incompressible fluid.
Henry Darcy : is a French hydraulic engineer interested in purifying water supplies using sand filters, conducted experiments to determine the flow rate of water through the filters.
Julius Ludwig Weisbach : was a German mathematician and engineer.He also refined the Darcy equation into the still widely used Darcy-Weisbach equation.
Pressure Loss (Darcy-Weisbach Equation) :
This equauion is used to find the fluid pressure loss due to friction along a given length of pipe to the average velocity of fluid flow for an incompressible fluid.
Δp = fD .
Where,
Δp - Pressure Loss in N/m2
fD - Darcy friction factor
L - Length of the pipe (m)
D - Hydraulic diameter (m)
V - Average velocity of the fluid flow (m/s)
p - Fluid density( kg/m3 )
Head Loss (Darcy-Weisbach Equation) :
Darcy-Weisbach equation is an empirical equation, which relates the head loss along a given length of pipe to the average velocity of the fluid flow for an incompressible fluid.The below equation is named after Henry Darcy and Julius Weisbach.
hf = fD .
Where,
hf - Head Loss (m)
fD - Darcy friction factor
L - Length of the pipe (m)
D - Hydraulic diameter (m)
V - Average velocity of the fluid flow (m/s)
g - Standard Gravity ( g = 9.80665 m/s2 )
