Fluid Velocity Head - Get Practical Information for Designing Piping System

[Asami]

Hi,

Does anyone know where does the velocity head (the v2/2g term in the Bernoulli eqn.) fits in when designing a piping system? i.e, what useful practical information can one have by calculating the velocity head?

Thks

The velocity head is used for determination of losses due to things like valves and bends, entrances and exits, etc...

This was helpfull, thanks Fred
