diverging tee friction losses
diverging tee friction losses
(OP)
Are ther any good references for friction loss coefficients for reducing tees, diverging flow? e.g. tee with 10" run, 6" branch: what is loss from 10" to 6" at various flowrate splits?

In this case I would probably model the reducer as a sudden reduction from 10" to 6", but this is a rather conservative assumption. I would follow the sudden reduction with a 6" tee exactly as advised by pleckner.
It all depends on how accurate you need to be. If this is one of many fittings in a long line then a high degree of accuracy is probably not required.
