Flow (Q)

Flow (q)

Diameter (D)

Diameter (d)

Output data

Head loss (hf,d)

Head loss (hf,s)

Description

Performs head losses calculations in in 45° junction with lateral inflow. There are two options:

Given the flow

Given the incoming flow, the lateral outcoming flow and the main pipe and junction diameters, calculates the head losses in the main flow and in the lateral flow.

Coefficient

Given the main pipe and the lateral diameters, calculates the head losses coeficients corresponding to the expressions hf=k.U22g hf = k.\frac{U^2}{2g} and hf=kQ.Q2 hf = kQ.Q^2 for the main and lateral flows.
