Head losses in parallel pipes
Head losses in parallel pipes
(OP)
How to calulate friction losses in pipes which flow in parallel but don't converge again..? please see attatchment for clarification.
A water reservoir is on a hill and a main dispersal pipe splits into several paprallel secondary pipes which have Are the total head losses in all the pipes equal to the head loss in one of the secondary pipes? I need to work out the minimum height of the reservoir to provide a flow rate at each tap..?

Take your flowrates in each segment starting with the far right one, calculate head loss and add them up all the way back to the reservoir. You'll have different discharge pressures at the end of each "parallel" segment required to hold the flowrate you want at each outlet.

to have taps on pipes, each tap is a node.
But typically you would group all the nearby demands together (if the demands are small compared to the main).
