Final answer:
The pressure loss (friction loss) in psi per 100 feet of 1-inch hose can be determined using Darcy's equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the friction loss in a hose, we need to know the flow rate of the fluid passing through the hose and the properties of the hose.
Assuming the fluid is water, the pressure loss (friction loss) in psi per 100 feet of 1-inch hose can be determined using Darcy's equation:
Pressure Loss (psi) = 4fLQ² / (π²d⁵)
Where:
- f is the Darcy friction factor
- L is the length of the hose (100 ft)
- Q is the flow rate of the water through the hose (in gallons per minute)
- d is the inside diameter of the hose (1 inch = 0.0833 ft)
The pressure loss in psi can vary depending on the flow rate and the hose properties. It is advisable to consult the manufacturer's specifications or use a pressure loss calculator specifically designed for hoses to obtain accurate results.
