b) Head losses in Pipe lines

Head losses in fiberglass pipe lines according to American Water Works Association Manual M45
i.a) Head loss in pipe (Darcy-Weisbach)

Pipe Length L= Pipe Diameter D= Flow (3 pumps at duty) Q= Water Velocity V= Reynolds number Re= Moody friction factor Ft =

1 meter = 3.2810 1 cubic meter = 264.2000 1 cubic meter/hour = 4.4030 1 liter/second = 15.8529 Acceleration of gravity g = 9.8 Kinematic Viscosity = 0.00001 Reynolds number Re= ID * V / ID = Simplified Colebrook equation Ft =1 / [1.8 Log (Re/7)] Darcy-Weisbach Equation Hf = (Ft * L * V) / (2* ID * g) Losses in valves and fittings Hf= K * V / 2g
i.b) Head loss in pipe (Hazen williams)

Hazen williams losses=

7.32 m

Conclusion : after calculating losses in two methods (Darcy-weisbach and Hazen-williams) we chose the highest value.
