In order for us, to determine the Friction Loss Coefficients in Series of

Pipe Line. First, we have researched an article wherein our laboratory


report will be based on, then, we have studied the problem that weve chose
and calculated all the required results, the head loss, velocity loss,
coefficient discharged and the friction factor of the both major and minor
loss. Based on the results, we can now therefore conclude that the answers
that we have arrived from satisfied the hypothesis of this laboratory report
was looking for and we have learned that result obtained in the experiment
is inaccurate. This is due to difference in the experimental value and
theoretical value. From the experiment, we can also conclude that linear
pipe with rough surface have larger energy losses than the energy losses in
linear pipe with smooth surface. This occurs because friction in rough
surface pipe is higher than the friction in smooth surface pipe, we have also
learned that losses in pipe are also dependent on the diameter of the pipe.
The smaller the diameter will have the greater losses. Besides, losses in pipe
are also dependent on the flow rate. When the flow rate is higher, the losses
will also be greater. Losses in sudden enlargement in pipe are greater than
sudden contraction in pipe and 90 bend pipe. Losses in 90 bend pipe are
greater than losses in sudden contraction in pipe.
