Study of Pressure Losses in Piping System

Seroor Atalah Khaleefa Ali, Dr, Huda T. Hamad

Abstract: Pressure losses are very important factories that effects on the flow in piping systems where concludes different length of pipes, diameters, fittings, elbows and valves. In this study water was used as a working fluid at room temperature and physical properties water was used. Different actual and theoretical pressure losses were studied and compared. Pressure drop measurement and prediction in curved pipes and elbow bends is reviewed for both laminar and turbulent single-phase fluid.
