You are the engineer supervising the layout of a piping system. In a certain portion of the pipe, the specifications are as follows: length of pipe is 10m, inside diameter of 30cm, outside diameter of 30.5cm, maximum allowable speed of 15m/s and a coefficient of 0.003456. If the uncertainties are 0.02mm for length, 0.8mm for the diameters and 0.1mm/s for the velocity, what loss of head will be imminent in this pipe? In the piping system above,   what is the uncertainty in computed head loss contributed by the velocity of the pipe? what is the uncertainty in computed head loss contributed by the diameter/s of the pipe? what is the uncertainty in computed head loss contributed by the length of the pipe? With all the above uncertainties, what is the total uncertainty in the head loss?
