Pressure Loss Coefficient

The pressure loss coefficient for a sudden contraction is defined as

where Δpt12 is the total pressure loss due to the contraction, and 1/2 ρ U22 is the kinetic pressure at Station 2 (see Fig.1). Δpt12 is defined as the total pressure drop between Station 1 in the large pipe and Station 2 in the small pipe minus the losses due to friction for fully developed flow in the large and small pipes extrapolated to the contraction plane. Station 1 and 2 are located in the fully developed regions upstream and downstream of the contraction respectively, outside the region of influence of the contraction. The total pressure loss Δpt12 is derived from measurements of static pressure loss Δp12.
