Applications with Losses: Pumps, Turbines & Grade Lines
Inside this lesson
- Compute major (friction) head loss with the Darcy-Weisbach equation
- Compute minor head losses at fittings and valves using loss coefficients
- Define the Energy Grade Line (EGL) and Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) and relate them
- Read a grade-line diagram to locate pumps, turbines, losses, and pressure changes
