4.5.2 Parallel Connection

Next: 5. Flow in Open Up: 4.5 Putting it all Previous: 4.5.1 Series Connection

An example of the resistance of parallel connection (see Figure ).

The pressure at point 1 is the same for two branches however the total flow rate is the combination

(4.12)

between two branches and the loss in the junction is calculated as
