Modified Hazen-Williams Equation

The Modified Hazen-Williams equation can be used in the analysis of an aging pressure pipe system where a more accurate estimation of frictional resistance and reduced carrying capacity is warranted. It is an alternative to arbitrarily reducing Hazen-Williams C, and also involves less computational overhead than the Darcy-Weisbach and Colebrook-White equations. The formula is as follows:
