Minor Head losses
• Losses due to change in shapes or forms of the conduits of pipes
• General Formula

Where:
C – Form loss coefficient
𝑣2
- velocity head

Note:
𝐿
Check first length L and Diameter D Ratio, to know whether minor losses can be neglected

Sample Problem
A Pump draws water from a 200mm diameter suction pipe and
discharges through a 150mm diameter pipe in which the velocity is
3.60 m/s. the pressure at A in the suction pipe is -34.475 Kpag. The 150
mm diameter pipe discharges horizontally into the air at C. To what
height, h, above B can the water be raised if B is 1.80m above A and 15
kW is delivered to the pump? Assume that the pump operates at 70%
efficiency and that the frictional loss in the pipes from A to C is 3.0m.

Three – Reservoir System
Three – Reservoir System
Possible Cases
1. 𝑄1 = 𝑄3
If this condition controls, the calculated values are the solutions to the problem.
Meaning, the discharge in the pipe connected to reservoir B which is 𝑄2 is really zero
2. 𝑄1 > 𝑄3
If this condition governs, then 𝑄2 is toward the reservoir or away the junction. The
controlling continuity equation is:
𝑄1 = 𝑄2 + 𝑄3
3. 𝑄1 < 𝑄3
If this condition exists then 𝑄2 is away from the reservoir or toward the junction. The
controlling continuity is:
𝑄1 + 𝑄2 = 𝑄3
Sample Problem
𝐿1 = 4000 𝑚 𝐷1 = 300 𝑚𝑚 El. A
𝐿2 = 3000 𝑚 𝐷2 = 200 𝑚𝑚 El. B
𝐿3 = 5000 𝑚 𝐷3 = 150 𝑚𝑚 El. C
