Darcy-Weisbach Equation For Head Loss in A Pipe: Parameters

This document describes using the Darcy-Weisbach equation to calculate liquid velocity in a pipe. The equation relates pressure drop to pipe parameters like diameter, length, roughness, liquid density and viscosity. An Excel spreadsheet allows the user to enter these parameters and use a goal seek function to iteratively calculate the liquid velocity that satisfies the Darcy-Weisbach equation given the specified pressure drop.
