The Darcy-Weisbach equation: can still be used to determine the head loss due to friction but f now depends upon the Reynolds number (Re) and the relative roughness (e/D); see the MOODY DIAGRAM
Example
Determine the head loss due to flow of 100 litres/s of glycerine at 20C through a 100m length of 20cm diameter pipe made of cast iron. Rework the problem for the case when the working fluid is water.
