Household plumbing example
Have you observed the gradual increase in flow
when you turn on the faucet at a sink? No? Good!
50 psi - 350 kPa - 35 m of head
K = 10 (estimate based on significant losses in faucet)
f = 0.02
L = 5 m (distance to larger supply pipe where velocity
change is less significant)
