Answer:
The head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.
Explanation:
Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss. Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss when passes through the valve as well.
Given:
Factor cv is 48.
Flow rate of water is 30 GPM.
GPM means gallon per minute.
Calculation:
Step1
Expression for head loss for the water is given as follows:
[tex]c_{v}=\frac{Q}{\sqrt{h}}[/tex]
Here, cv is valve coefficient, Q is flow rate in GPM and h is head loss is psi.
Step2
Substitute 48 for cv and 30 for Q in above equation as follows:
[tex]48=\frac{30}{\sqrt{h}}[/tex]
[tex]{\sqrt{h}}=0.625[/tex]
h = 0.390625 psi.
Thus, the head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.
