A light liquid (ρ = 950 kg/m3) flows at an average velocity of 10 m/s through a horizontal smooth tube of diameter 5 cm. The fluid pressure is measured at 1-m intervals along the pipe, as follows:
x, m: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
p, kPa: 304 273 255 240 226 213 200
Estimate (a) the total head loss, in meters; (b) the wall shear stress in the fully developed section of the pipe; and (c) the overall friction factor.
