  • Typeset equations from a friction pressure loss reference: equation 5.66 for q with terms 1/(2A), dp/dL, B, D/2 and lambda, equation 5.67 for lambda = (AC)^B / (dp/dL), and equation 5.68 for annular flow q = 2D times a similar bracketed expression.

Do you need to solve all of these for $dp/dl?$ The second one is straight-forward. For any of the equations with $(dp/dl)^{1/B}$, first isolate $(dp/dl)^{1/B}$ on one side of the equation, and then raise both sides to the $B$ power.

YEs i need both equation to solve for dp/dL.Can you do this for me or tell me any software that can do this kind of operation
 
As an example, you can give Mathematica the following code, and it will solve the first one for $p'(L)$:

Code:
Solve[q==Pi((1/(2A) (p'[L])^(1/B)(B/(3B+1))((D/2)^((3B+1)/B)-Lambda^((3B+1)/B))-(C/3)((D/2)^3-Lambda^3))),p'[L]]

I tried it on Wolfram Alpha, but it didn't understand the command.

I have Matlab Installed can it be solved if yes then help me to start with
