Energy Equation at a Branch
By applying the energy equation at a branch i, we loop over all connecting pipes and can say that:
or, in terms of stagnation enthalpy,
|
|
(47) |
where h0,ij is the stagnation enthalpy at the connection point of the pipe and junction.
The elevation term shown in Equation 30
drops out because all pipes at the junction connect at the same elevation.
