Where the 145872Pa contribution is due to elevation change, kinetic energy change, and skin losses, and last term represents the sum of all the minor losses
due to the increase in kinetic energy
(b)
If only losses included are the skin friction losses , the friction loss is

Thus ,the flow is turbulent flow
Governing equation for either case (a), (b), or (c) is the mechanical balance equation given by
