The head loss for a certain circular pipe is given by 

h = 0.0826fL(V/D),

where f is the friction factor (dimensionless), L is the pipe length, V̇ is the volumetric flow rate, and D is the pipe diameter. Determine if the 0.0826 is a dimensional or dimensionless constant. Is this equation dimensionally homogeneous as it stands?

h = 0.0826fL(V/D),
