Head loss

Description

Performs head losses calculations in pipe outlets. There are two options:

Given the flow

Given the flow and the pipe exit diameter, calculates the corresponding head loss.

Coefficient

Given the pipe exit diameter, calculates the head losses coeficients corresponding to the expressions:

  • k applicable to the expression:
    hf=k.U22g h_f = k. \frac{U^2}{2g}
  • kQ applicable to the expression:
    hf=kQ.Q2 h_f = k_Q. Q^2
