Energy Equation at a Branch
By applying the energy equation at a branch i, we loop over all connecting pipes and get
or, in terms of stagnation enthalpy,

where is the stagnation enthalpy at the connection point of pipe and junction.
The elevation term shown in Equation 30 drops out because all pipes at the junction connect at the same elevation.
