The hydraulic head loss in a pipe may be determined by the Darcy-Weisbach Equation as follows:
H=(f*L*V^2)/(2*D*g)
Where L is the length of the pipe, V is the follow velocity of water in a pipe, D is the pipe diameter, f is the coefficient of friction and g is the gravitational acceleration (32.2 ft/sec^2)
Suppose the length of the pipe L has a constant length of 10 ft and the pipe has a constant diameter of .5 ft. The coefficient of friction is distributed normally with a mean of .02 and a c.o.v. of .3 and the flow velocity is distributed normally as V ~ N(9,1) fps
By first order approximation determine the standard deviation of the hydraulic head loss of the pipe.

4b. Later on, we will study a quantity called hydraulic head (h) which refers to the mechanical energy in a given mass of fluid. As water flows through a pipe, some amount of this energy, or head, is lost due to friction, and the resulting head loss (4h) can be calculated using the expression Ah = 25 (5) Where L is the length and D the diameter of the pipe, respectively, Vis velocity, g is gravity, and f refers to...
Problem 3 A pipeline delivers water from Reservoir 1 to Reservoir 2 as shown in the following figure. The water levels at Reservoirs 1 and 2 are 50 ft and 20 ft, respectively. A globe valve is installed in the pipeline with a minor head loss coefficient k 10. The pipe from Reservoir 1 to the globe valve is 1000 ft long and 6 inches in diameter.
