Thank you,
I'll check for those in the library where I'm currently interning at.
Just looked up the Crane 410 ... I see what you mean.
I guess it's a common trend today, pretty much any reference book is expensive, I paid around 150-200 for my copy of the Steel Manual, my instructor remembers...
You're right, the loss for this particular fitting is not as important to the total losses, especially so because the flow tends to slow down by this point.
I guess I was just looking for confirmation from other people that this is indeed something rare, and not something I was misreading or...
At the moment, that's how I'm treating it in my calculations, but the actual fitting has four 8" pipes entering it at right angles, so I wasn't sure, if that would affect flow more so than just a rounded elbow.
Surely there will be more turbulence/vorticity around the other two unused openings...
No, It is an actual cross fitting (not sure of a better term for it) with the flow turning 90°
I'm attaching the picture of what I'm talking about, the flow is outlined in yellow, and the other two branches are stopped with valves.
Hi all,
Quick question:
What do you guys use as your reference for minor head loss coefficients (k).
I'm sure those with more experience have their own database/excels of k values found over the years. I have been personally using a combination of my Hydraulic Engineering Textbook and Google...
Hi,
My name is Oleg,
I am a Civil engineering student nearing the completion of my BE. My primary interest lies in Structural engineering, although I am planning to do some geotechnical research in this coming semester (pretty excited about that as well).
I have been a bit of a lurker on this...
