The head loss produced by the flow through bends, inlets, valves, etc
is expressed by the equation:

Some of those K values are shown on the
adjacent table.
Energy equation is rewritten as:

Where the sum of hL includes frictional
losses, and losses due to fittings, contra-
tions, valves, etc that are present in the
flow loop.
