Pipe Friction + Fitting (Type 1)

The document provides various constants and conversion factors related to fluid mechanics. It then gives input data for a pipe system including pipe diameter, fluid density and viscosity, flow rate, pressure change, and pipe length. It proceeds to calculate relevant parameters like Reynolds number, friction factor, pipe head loss, and total head loss. Finally, it calculates the power required to drive the given flow through the system in units of Btu/s, horsepower, and kilowatts.
