How is the mathematical analysis of pressure loss in noncirc
How is the mathematical analysis of pressure loss in noncircular channels different from circular? Please show equation(s).
Solution
Pressure loss is because of the friction
To calculate the frictional head loss (or pressure drop) in non-circular pipes the method must be adapted to use the Hydraulic Diameter instead of the internal dimensions of the pipe.
Hydraulic Diameter = 4 x cross sectional area of flow / wetted perimeter
