EVEN WHEN one is willing to estimate the various loss coefficients
in a given system, it is not always an easy matter to determine the
flow rate and/or the total pressure drop across the system. While
there are gas dynamics books that contain Fanno tables which
involve flow with losses, such tables are never specific; that is,
the conventional tabulations are never given in terms of specific
loss coefficients or specific total pressure ratios. The tables
contained in this book are unique in this tespect. The user can
establish from these tables not only the various state point
functions, but the total pressure losses as well. (The total
pressure ratio is shown to be the only true indica tion of loss in
a flow system.) Both compressible and constant-density solutions
are presented. Tables for fluids of various ratios of specific
heats are included. Use of these tables is not restricted to
constant-area systems, nor does their use require iterative
procedures. For compressible flows, tables of solutions for both
the subsonic and supersonic regimes are given. The loss
coefficients obtained from these tables are unique in that they are
shown to be additive in series systems. This permits the
investigator to evaluate a flow system either as a series of
components or in its entirety."
