Node for representing pressure loss coefficient. It represents the directly proportional relationship of head loss (or pressure drop) to the square of velocity arriving to the expression:
Delta P = K × (ρV²/2)Pressure loss coefficients can be applied across different fluids. According to DS Miller, these coefficients are not unique to a specific fluid but instead function as universal relationships to Reynolds number for a given geometry.
Where:
Delta P |
Pressure drop |
rho |
Fluid Density |
V |
Fluid Velocity |
K values for different piping system equipment can be stored in the database for future application.
