Dr. Ratnakar Swain of the Department of Civil Engineering at NIT Rourkela discusses energy losses in pipes. [1] Major energy losses are due to friction and are calculated using Darcy's-Weisbach formula or Chezy's formula. [2] Minor energy losses occur due to sudden enlargements, sudden contractions, entrance and exit effects, bends in pipes, obstructions, and pipe fittings. [3] The formulas provided allow calculating the head loss from these various sources based on flow velocity, pipe dimensions, and loss coefficients.

Sudden contraction
Major energy loss→ Due to friction
Minor energy loss→ Due to → Sudden enlargement
→ Sudden contraction → Entry loss and exit loss → Bend in pipe → An obstruction in pipe Dr. R. Swain, Asst. Prof., NIT RKL → Pipe fittings 3 Major energy losses A. Darcy’s - Weisbach Formula: Equation of equilibrium:
