Minnor Losses
The magnitude of energy losses produced by fluid friction, valves, and fittings is directly
proportional to the velocity head of the fluid. This can be expressed mathematically as:
Angle valve
Gate valve
Check valve
Check valve – ball type
Butterfly valve
Foot valve with strainer
Standard tees
Pipe entrance
Pipe exit
Friction factor 𝒇𝑻
Exercise 1
The pump shown in the picture is delivering hydraulic oil with a specific gravity of 0.85 at a
rate of 75 L/min. The pressure at A is 275 kPa and the pressure at B is 275 kPa. The energy
loss in the system is 2.5 times the velocity head in the discharge pipe. Calculate the power
delivered by the pump to the oil.
Exercise 2
The setup shown in the picture is being used to measure the energy los across a valve. The
velocity of Flow of the oil is 1,2 m/s. Calcule the value of K of the valve.
