head_loss: Head loss over the length of pipe

In joaobtj/HF: Calculate head loss in pipelines

Description

headLoss calculate the head loss by friction in pipes by different methods

Usage

head_loss(D, Q, L, RC, v = 1.01e-06, g = 9.81, x1 = 0.06)

Arguments

D	Diameter in meters
Q	Flow rate in cubic meters per second
L	Length of pipe in meters
RC	Roughness coefficient. Absolute roughness (in meters) for Universal equation.
v	Kinematic viscosity of fluid in square meters per second. By default use the value for water at 20 Celsius degree (v = 1.01e-6 m^2/s). Unnecessary for empirical equations.
g	Gravitational acceleration. By default use the value g = 9.81 m/s^2
x1	Initial parameter of f for Newton-Raphson. By default x1=0.06. Unnecessary for empirical or explicit equations.

Value

hf Head loss in meters

Examples

head_loss(D = 0.025, Q = 0.000000001, L = 200)
head_loss(D = 0.050, Q = 0.0006, L = 200, RC = 0.0001)
