virtaushäviöille
Virtaushäviöille is a Finnish term that translates to "flow losses" or "head losses" in English. It refers to the reduction in energy that occurs as a fluid (such as water or air) flows through a pipe, channel, or other conduit. These losses are primarily due to friction between the fluid and the walls of the conduit, as well as turbulence generated within the flow itself.
There are two main types of flow losses. Major losses, often referred to as friction losses, are
Understanding and quantifying virtaushäviöille is crucial in the design and operation of fluid systems, including water
