Darcy-Weisbach Formula

 

V= v8gRS/f

 

In which,

g= acceleration due to gravity

f = Darcy-weisbach roughness coefficient or friction factor, dimensionless

 

The resistant coefficient can and f in above equation can be related to each other as follows:

 

 C vRS = v8fRS/f

Or, C = v8g/f

 

Again,

CvRS  = (R 2/3 . S ½ )/ n

 

Or, C vR = R 2/3 / n

 

Or, C = R 2/3- ½ / n  = R 1/6 /n

 

Hence, v8g/f   = R 1/6 /n

 

So,c/vg  =  v8/f =    vR1/6/nvg   [ here , v denotes the square underroot]
