(solve this question using method 1 and 2 and the table as shown in the pictures please):Method 1: We try to express the head loss due to minor losses in terms of a
loss coefficient, KL :
(Fg)minorlosses=KLV22g
Values of KL can be found in the literature
for example:
losses due to change in pipe diameter
losses due to pipe components Minor Losses
Method 2:
Using the concept of equivalent length, which is the equivalent length of pipe
which would have the same friction effect as the fitting.
The B.E. can be written:
P+gz+v22=dwdm-(4f(LD)equiv.*v22)
Values of equivalent length (L/D) can be found in the literature (for example
Table 6.7 textbook; see next slide) TABLE 6.7
Equivalent lengths and K values for various kinds of fitting*
