Abstract

Fluid friction is the resistance to an object's motion through a liquid or gas.To move a given volume of liquid through a pipe requires a specific measure of energy.An energy or pressure difference must exist to make the liquid to move.A part of that energy is lost to the resistance to flow.This resistance to flow is called head loss because of friction.Fuzzy logic modelling is one of the types of artificial intelligence that can help to calculate and forecast the output of an experiment. Thousands of data can be applied and forecasting can be made based on this data.Hence,saving time and diminish cost in conducting experiment.Fuzzy logic is a mathematical technique that deals with the unspecific data and problems that have many solutions rather than one.In addition fuzzy logic modelling system offers the potential for a more amenable,less assumption approach to the modelling of real life problems.This research introduces a fuzzy logic modelling in fluid friction in order to forecast the head loss in pipe.A Matlab fuzzy logic toolbox is utilized to help with the fuzzy modelling.The mean absolute error is calculated to compare the forecasting value by fuzzy logic modelling with experimental and theoretical value.The analysis shows that the fuzzy logic modelling approach gives better and closer value to actual values.
