 ▪ In long pipelines frictional or surface resistance of pipe
interior is the dominant element
▪ In short pipelines, Form resistance (responsible for
losses in transitions and appurtenances) is often
Fluid Transport important

▪ Energy is lost due to expansion, contraction, orifices,

etc.

Open Channel ▪ V = 1/n R2/3S1/2
Flow: ▪ Where R is the hydraulic radius (A/P), S is the slope of
Manning’s the channel, and, n is the Manning’s coefficient
