Description
Calculate the head loss in water flowing through pipes using the Darcy-Weisbach formula and the Churchill correlation for determining the friction factor.
There are 5 calculation possibilities:
- Calculate head loss
- Calculate diameter
- Calculate pipe length
- Calculate equivalent roughness
- Calculate flow rate
Darcy
