PipeLoss

Bases

This program is a GUI interface for the analysis of pipe networks based on the documentation by Roland W. Jeppson: January 1974

Steady Flow Analysis of Pipe Networks: An Instructional Manual

and the follow up book;

Hydraulics of Pipeline Systems

by; Bruce E. Larock Roland W. Jeppson Gary Z. Watters

The original FORTRAN program has been reprinted and marked up to show how it was converted to this python 3.8 program. See pdf file Main_FORTRAN_Prog

Scope

This program should be able to handle most pipe networks or simple pipe lines. Unlike the original FORTRAN program, this program allows for the selection of various fittings or valves. The equivalent lengths of which are based on the values given in Crane Tech Paper 410-C. Unlike the original FORTRAN program this version has been limited to 26 flow lines or pipe segements.

Usage
