For a single loop, it should be rec- ognized that the energy loss across each of the two legs from one end of the system to the other must be equal. Elevation Losses Otherwise, a circulation would take place within the loop Variation of pressure within a fluid at rest is related to itself.
Also, mass is conserved by the fact that the sum of the density or unit specific weight of the fluid. The unit the two individual flows through the paths is equal to the weight of a fluid is equal to its density multiplied by the total flow into and out of the loop. Re- duce the number of individual pipes where possible by finding the equivalent pipe for pipes in series or Q1 parallel. Evaluate each parameter in the proper units.

Add the correction flow values to each pipe in the C loop as required, thereby increasing or decreasing the Q2 FLC1 earlier assumed flows.
For cases where a single pipe is Since Q1 and Q2 combine to create a total flow of Q, the in two loops, the algebraic difference between the two flow through one leg can be determined as values of dQ must be applied as the correction to the assumed flow. As a final check, calculate the pressure loss by any For the simplest of looped systems, a single loop, route from the initial to the final junction.
A second hand calculations are not complex. Sometimes, seemingly calculation along another route should give the same complex piping systems can be simplified by substituting value within the range of accuracy expected. NFPA 13 requires that pressures be shown to balance For pipes in series within 0. It is When hand calculations are performed, the Hardy Cross2 necessary to determine the flow taking place through method of balancing heads is generally employed.

For Route through Pipes 2 and 4: pipe segment 3, the new flow is the algebraic sum of the original flow plus the flow corrections from both loops. Note that it required only two itera- psi.

NFPA 22 is the Pf C system pressure required per hydraulic calculations governing standard for water tanks for fire protection, and includes a description of the types of tanks as well as A C proportion of air in the tank detailed design and connection requirements.
