Chezy Equation
Mean flow velocity within pipes with turbulent flow
Contents
Overview
The Chezy equation applied to pipes with turbulent flow is where- i is
or head loss due to fiction over the pipe length,
- m is
or wetted area divided by the wetted perimeter,
- and C is
where f is the coefficient of friction.
Theory
For the flow of a fluid within a pipe with velocity (v), there will be a reduction in mean pressure with distance, which is usually referred to as "head loss".

- P is the perimeter of the pipe
,
- L is the length of the pipe section
- and f is the coefficient of friction
