                                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 )

                First you need to know what is the maximum power transmitted through pipe and then equate it to the Bernoulli equation.

                Dimensional analysis gives the answer within seconds.

                Please show the detailed derivation.

                How it is calculated?

                Nozzle head = total head- loss of friction head.
For maximum efficiency, Total head H = 3 hf,
V2/2g = 2(4flv2/2gd),
V = Q/area and solving we get answer.

                It will be 2fl in place of 8fl.

                Explain it properly (stepwise).

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