There are different ways of writing the hazen -william friction loss equation depending on which system of units you are working with. If you want to calculate friction loss in feet then the equation is as follows:

hL = ((L)/(((6.27*10^-4)*C*D^2.63)^1.85))*Q^1.85

Where:
hL = Headloss (ft)
L = Length of pipe (ft)
C = Hazen William coefficient for the material that the pipe is made out of (unitless)
D = Diameter of the pipe you are working with (in.)
Q = Flow rate you are working with (cubic feet per second (cfs))

What does the 231 in the rpm equation for hydraulic displacement mean?

231 refers to the number of cubic inches (in3) per gallon of volume.


Why the cold junction in a thermocouple maintained at 0 degree celsius?

This maintenance ensures a constant Electro Motive Force E. A relationship develops between the EMF and the Neutral temperature by an equation.


What does a coefficient represent?

It depends on the equation and the coefficient. Coefficients can be constant (Boltzmann constant, Avogadro's number) but they can also be variable (Reynolds number). The coefficient of gravity, g, is 9.81 m/s^2 in metric units on Earth.


What is role of mathematics in bioinformatics?

Mathematics plays an important role in sequence analysis and sequence matching, Hidden Markov model, Makov birth and death process, queing theory, distribution function (from Probabilitity and statistics) used in sequence selection and nonlinear differential equation and solution through phase space method, chaos and bifurcation theory used in sequence matching and analysis and deductibility and symmetry topics of Abstact algebra is used in desiging the theory part of sequencing, linear algebra is used in solving large variable linear equation and so much. may be this will help a little bit to cursity.


What is the schmid factor?

The Schmid factor m is part of the equation for the critical resolved shear stress τ0. The critical resolved shear stress is the component of shear stress in a slip plane, resolved in the direction of slip, necessary to initiate slip in a grain (plastic deformation in metals). m = cos(κ)cos(λ) ; τ0 = mσ κ - the angle between the applied load direction and the slip plane normal. λ - the angle between the applied load direction and the slip direction. σ - the applied stress or load
