Velocity Head Loss for Water Flowing Through a 120 Degree Bend
Q: I've been searching for the velocity head loss for water flowing through a 120 degree bend but couldn't find any related resources. Could you help me please?
A: Some books have charts that show the loss coefficients for the elbow angle larger than 90 degree. If you get such a chart, you can simply interpolate and estimate the minor loss coefficient K. One example that I found after quick perusal is Fig. 6.20 in Fluid mechanics by F.M.
