Fluid Mechanics in Channel, Pipe and Aerodynamic Design Geometries 2
About this book
Fluid mechanics is an important scientific field with various industrial applications for flows or energy consumption and efficiency issues. This book has as main aim to be a textbook of applied knowledge in real fluids as well as to the Hydraulic systems components and operation, with emphasis to the industrial or real life problems for piping and aerodynamic design geometries. Various problems will be presented and analyzed through this book.

Pipe Networks
1.1. Introduction
Pipe networks, which are interconnected and often have a netting structure, are used for transportation or even distribution of fluids from their storage or production areas to various other areas for certain purposes.
These networks are used in everyday life, such as plumbing networks of water transportation for productive applications such as fire extinguishing, networks of natural gas transportation, networks of fluid and gas transportation, and networks of water pipes, wet waste and compressed air.
Some of these networks are simple piping systems equipped with flow adjustment devices, whereas others are complicated, such as fluid distribution networks. Some of the most complicated networks are fire extinguishing networks (because of the fluid used for fire extinguishing), water distribution networks and plumbing networks.
Depending on the complication of mixed networks and the form they take for the feasibility of the distribution service, we distinguish them into the following three categories:
- 1) The tree-system-type pipe networks: these networks are characterized by the presence of a central pipe from which other pipes are branched (pipes of distribution) with a gradual decrease in their cross-section, taking the form of a tree (tree system), as shown in Figure 1.1.
- 2) The gr...
