Lab 5 reflection

I chose this lab because I have experience in creating irrigation


systems and this label tested different aspects of water flow through
pipes. This lab tested the head loss in piping systems. The results
showed that as water velocity increased, the friction factor decreased.
It also concluded that rapid contraction and right angle areas in the
pipe significantly increase minor loss, but elbow and angle fixtures on
pipes not as much. This will be directly applicable in my field as a
Biosystems engineer. If I go into farming engineering for example and
continue my work in irrigation systems, knowing this information with
influence how efficient of a system I can design.
