I work at a small Civil design firm and the older guys are still using spreadsheets to track project budets for design. Since I'm moving into the management role and come from a heavy construction background I am looking to track project budgets using cost codes and I dont want to input...
Thanks.
Yes I understand loss at each fitting and elevation head. Just not sure if I was suppose to add up the HL in all the pipes or assume they are in parallel.
Ok, perhaps I worded my question poorly. I'm trying to size a pump at the end of the 3" Pipe system above and I need to figure the Dynamic Head to develop a system curve.
I thought #1 was correct as the 3/4" pipes are in parallel and have the same HL across their length. The flow Q1 is...
What would be the head loss through this pipe system?
A 3" pipe branches off into 5 - 3/4" pipes all the same length and diameter. 3/4" Pipes discharge to the air.
Just taking into consideration flow through the pipes, is the head loss through the system equal to:
1) (HL in 3" Pipe) + (HL in...
