Calculates pressure drop (head loss) of a fluid in straight
circular pipes due to friction. Input parameters for this app is
pipe diameter lenght of pipe pipe roughness (app includes default
values for widely used pipes) flow rate in several expressions and
physical properties of the flow medium). At first the Darcy
friction factor fis calculated depending upon the type of flow that
exist in the pipe. So if Reynolds number is less than 2000 (laminar
flow) the f=64/Re formula is used to calculate the friction factor
f. If Reynolds number is more than 2000 (transition or turbulent
flow) an approximation of the Colebrook equation (Swamee-Jain
equation) is used in order to calculate friction factor f. Then
Darcy-Weisbach equation is used finally to calculate the pressure
loss.
