FM565 · Pipe Networks

Experimental Apparatus for the Study of Pipe Networks

The analysis of a hydraulic system involves determining the flow rate distribution across the pipes of the system and the pressure at each network node, by applying the continuity equation at the nodes and the energy balance between the various nodes of the system.
