I just started hydraulics and this is the first problem I'm trying to solve. Please take that into consideration!
Given Two Pipes
Water is 50 degrees Celsius

I want to see if I understand this stuff correctly.
YL = The pressure lost through both pipes
L - Length of pipe
ID - Inner diameter
[ I'm not entirely sure what eA and eB mean - I think it says something about the quality of the surface? How smooth it is?]
So I got these three formulas

I'm looking at my class notes and I got a few things missing.
Ra and Rb are "Reynolds" number for the pipes, yes? I imagine it's constant.
And the strange symbol at the bottom of Reynolds formula, that misshapen "V", that is a constant as well, yes?
I hope it turns out there are only these equations. It seems like a fairly simple problem.
