Optimizing the ASME Venturi Recovery Cone Angle to Minimize Head Loss
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many flow-meter applications require accurate flow measurement (0.5% of actual flow or better), whereas other applications accept less-accurate flow measurements. Some applications attempt to minimize head loss, whereas a ...
Design Considerations for Fixed-Cone Valve with Baffled Hood
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fixed-cone valves (FCVs) are practical devices used to regulate flow at dams having medium to high heads. These valves are designed to safely reduce the flow energy by redirecting the pipe flow into a free-discharging ...
Energy Losses in Cross Junctions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Energy losses occurring in pipe junctions have been studied for many years. Head loss coefficients
