Major and Minor Losses in Piping Systems

Major and Minor Losses in Piping Systems: Understanding Flow Resistance
In fluid transport systems, major and minor losses refer to the energy loss due to friction and fittings, respectively. Major losses occur because of the friction between the fluid and the inner surface of the pipe, while minor losses are caused by elements like valves, bends, and fittings. Understanding these losses is essential for designing efficient piping systems and ensuring optimal flow rates.
