Fluid Mechanics Lesson 08D: Major Head Losses, Laminar

Fluid Mechanics Lesson Series - Lesson 08D: Major Head Losses, Laminar
In this 13-minute video, Professor Cimbala explains the difference between major losses and minor losses in pipe flow systems. He then derives an equation for major head loss when the flow is laminar. He illustrates how to apply the equation by working through an example problem.

This video incorporates material from Section 8-4 of the Fluid Mechanics textbook by Cengel and Cimbala.
