Discharge in Pressure Conduit Given Head Loss

Computes Discharge given Diameter, Material, and Head Loss using Swamee Jain (1976)


D = Pipe diameter (in feet or meters)
g = Gravitational acceleration constant (32.2 ft/s^2 or 9.8 m/s^2)
hl = Head loss (in feet or meters)
L = Pipe length (feet or meters)
ks = Equivalent sand roughness height (a material property; in feet or meters)
v = Kinematic viscosity (in feet^2/second or meter^2/second)
