Energy/Head LossesEnergy losses occur in the pipeline due to friction and elevationchanges. The most commonly used equation in irrigation calculations isthe Hazen-Williams formula:h = f[{ K(Q/C) 1.852 }/ { D 4.87 }]* ( L + Le)Where:H f is the frictional head loss (m)K = 1.21 x 1010Q is the pipeline discharge (lps)C is the friction coefficient for pipe sectionsD is the inside diameter (mm)L is the pipeline length (m)Le is the equivalent length <strong>of</strong> pipe and accessories
