a) What is the difference between major loss and minor losses in a pipe network? Give at least
three examples of minor losses?
b) The following information has been collected in the lab during "Head Loss in Bends and
Fittings" experiment:
Manometer readings for sections before and after a bend: h₁=326 mm and h₂=253 mm
Q=0.28 lit/s
Pipe diameter 1.83 cm
Calculate the head loss coefficient (K) for this bend.
-
c) Name the fitting from the lab experiment (excluding the valve) that should have the highest
head loss and explain why this is the case?
