Description

Find the head loss coefficients for fully open gate valves.

Given the diameter and the passage area/pipe area of a gate valve, calculates de head loss coefficients applied to the formulae:

For k applicable to: $hf = \frac{k \cdot U^2}{2g}$
For $k_Q$ applicable to: $ℎf = k_Q\cdot Q^2$
