Junction Pressure Loss Correlation
For bends, tees and wyes, the calculation of pressure drop applies the K-factor pressure loss relationship:
\Delta P = K × (ρV²/2)Where the pressure loss coefficient K can be evaluated using any of these junction pressure loss correlations:
- Idelchik
- Miller
- SAE
- Crane
