3.5.4 darcy_weisbach_p - Darcy-Weisbach pressure drop for P
p = darcy_weisbach_p(q,d,fd)

Calculates the pressure drop across a pipe using the Darcy-Weisbach equation.

Arguments

q

Volumetric flow rate Q (m3/h  ).

d

Pipe internal diameter D (m  ).

fd

Darcy friction factor fd .

Returns Pressure drop due to friction (kPa/km  ).
