Is there a general convention? I am also trying to figure out how to relate this in terms of reservoirs/tanks and entrance flows, though I am starting to see that I should be making assumptions for certain head losses based on relative geometries
For minor losses, I read that the pressure drop is equal to the dynamic pressure * loss coefficient. However, in calculating dynamic pressure, it uses a single velocity. How do you determine this velocity when it will vary at the point of change in pipe diameter or direction? I have read...
