Type 8 Home Problem -- Derivation of Pressure Drop in Pipes
Problems that challenge assumptions.

Variable definitions:

First, we start with our differential equation for pressure drop along a pipe:

Inserting , and assuming G is constant throughout the length of the pipe, we rearrange things to get:

Integrating over the limits(), and assuming f is constant along the pipe, we have:

We expect the pressure drop to be very small, so we will neglect the second term on the right-hand side. We are left with:

Rearranging again, we get:
