                                6.
The diameter of the nozzle (d) for maximum transmission of power is given by (where D = Diameter of pipe, f = Darcy 's coefficient of friction for pipe, and l = Length of pipe )

                Q=aV,a=Area V=velocity I think now you get @Siddu Gd Karagi.

                For maximum transmission, H=3h,
where H=Total Supply Head,
h=head lost due to friction,
H=3h.
=>v^2/2g=3 flV^2/(2gD),
where, v=velocity at the nozzle end,
V=velocity in pipe.
=>Q^2/(a^2.2g)=3flQ^2/(A^2/2gD).
where a=nozzle area,
A=area of pipe,
=>3fld^4=D^5.
=>d= (D^5/(3fl))^(1/4).
                where H=Total Supply Head,
h=head lost due to friction,
H=3h.
=>v^2/2g=3 flV^2/(2gD),
where, v=velocity at the nozzle end,
V=velocity in pipe.
=>Q^2/(a^2.2g)=3flQ^2/(A^2/2gD).
where a=nozzle area,
A=area of pipe,
=>3fld^4=D^5.
=>d= (D^5/(3fl))^(1/4).

                Solve using dimensional method.
=> f is unit less.
=> D^5/l has dimension L^4.
                => f is unit less.
=> D^5/l has dimension L^4.

                It will be 2fl in place of 8fl.
