Final answer:

The friction loss can be calculated using the Darcy-Weisbach equation. Assume the diameter of the hose line remains the same when extending it with the high rise hose pack. Substitute the values into the equation to calculate the friction loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

The friction loss can be calculated using the Darcy-Weisbach equation:



Friction loss (head loss) = f * (L/D) * (V^2/2g)



Where:



  • f is the friction factor
  • L is the length of the hose line
  • D is the diameter of the hose line
  • V is the velocity of the fluid flow
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity



In this case, the length of the hose line is extended by the high rise hose pack, so you need to calculate the total length. Assume the diameter of the hose line remains the same. Then, substitute the values into the equation and calculate the friction loss.
