ABSTRACT

The solution o f practical pipe flow problems (some o f which have been presented earlier in the text) resulting from application o f the en­ ergy principle, the equation o f continuity, and the principle and equation o f water resistance are also discussed. Resistance to flow in pipes is of­ fered not only by long reaches o f pipe but also by pipe fittings, such as bends and valves, which dissipate energy by producing relatively largescale turbulence.
