Power is transmitted through Power is transmitted through pipes by flowing water or other liquids flowing through them. The power transmitted depends upon : T he weight of liquid flowing through the pipe and the total head available at the end of the pipe. Consider a pipe AB connected to a tank as shown in Fig.. The power available at the end B of the pipe and the condition for maximum transmission of power will be obtained as mentioned below :
L = length of the Pipe, d = diameter of the pipe, H = total head available at the inlet of pipe, V = velocity of flow in pipe, hf = loss of head due to friction, and f = co-efficient of friction
