[MAE 242] Pipe flow with major and minor head losses

Megan Lewis (BSE in Astronautics, 25) solves a pipe flow problem using the energy equation. The major and minor head losses are included, and reading the Moody chart is explained. 00:08:21 Reynolds number definition should use V, not V square.

Please note that students currently taking MAE 242 Intro to Fluid Mechanics at Arizona State University should use these video resources as references only, rather than substitutes for our course materials. These videos are created voluntarily by the former students who took MAE 242, not by the instructors, hoping that their understanding and knowledge of course materials can benefit future students taking the same course. Thus, the current instructors cannot be responsible for any inaccuracy or misunderstanding related to the videos, and one should use these resources at its own discretion.

How we can know which velocity to use when calculating major losses and minor losses?

Very helpful, but I got lost in the conceptualization without units.
