Minor Loss Coefficients
It's kind of beating a dead horse
Both Hooper's 2-k method and Darby's 3-k method account for minor loss sensitivity to Reynolds number and scale effect.
For minor losses we can write:
h = Kf*V^2/2
Being
h = minor los
Kf = minor loss coefficient
V = fluid velocity in the pipe where the fitting is placed
Standing to 2-k method:
Kf = K1/Re + K
