Sobre La Estimación de La Pérdida de Fricción en Tuberías Mediante Las Fórmulas de Hazen-Williams y Hazen-Williams Modificada

The document discusses the estimation of friction loss in pipes using the Hazen-Williams and Modified Hazen-Williams formulae. It highlights the limitations of the conventional Hazen-Williams formula and proposes a modified version based on Darcy-Weisbach and Colebrook-White equations for more accurate calculations. The author, Raghuveer Rao Pallepati, aims to provide a comprehensive approach to calculating friction losses in pipelines for better design efficiency.
