Refer section 7.12

(i) In this case the loss coefficient is 0.04

u = 4Q/πD² = 4 × 9.82/(1000 × π × 0.05²) = 5 m/s

∴                  h_{f} = 0.04 × 5²/2 × 9.81 = 0.051 m.

(ii) In this case loss coeffcient is 0.5.                ∴       h_{f} = 0.5 × 5²/2 × 9.81 = 0.637 m

(iii) The loss coefficient in this case = 0.8        ∴         h_{f} = 0.8 × 5²/2 × 9.81 = 1.019 m
