Consider the simple pipe network below. Pipe AB and CF are both 500m long with diameters of 0.8m and friction factors of 0.015. Branch 1 is 200m long, 0.5m in diameter with a friction factor of 0.02. Branch 2 is 300m long, 0.6m in diameter with a friction factor of 0.012. The design discharge through pipe AB is 3m 3 /s. Determine the following: a) the equivalent pipe length, Leq, of a single equivalent pipe with a diameter of 1m and friction factor of 0.02, that represents the entire pipe network from A to F, b) determine the total head loss from A to F. Ignore minor losses. (Hint: need to use method of equivalent pipes for both series and parallel)

Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.
