Note.--^The losses of head for the orifices in the lK-in. and 2-in. pipe were calculated from those in the
smaller pipes; the calculations being based on the assumption that, for any given velocity, the loss of head
is a function of the ratio of the diameter of the pipe to that of the orifice. This had been found to be
practically true in the tests to determine the losses of head in orifices in
1-in., and
pipe, con
ducted by the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, and also in the tests to determine the losses of head
in orifices in 4-in.. 6-in., and 12-in. pipe, conducted by the Engineering Experiment Station of the University
of Illinois, (Bulletin 109, Table 6, p. 38, Davis and Jordan).

CHAPTER 16. HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEMS AND PIPING
and which is equipped with 7 radiators, all radiators dissipating equal quantities of heat. The mean temperature of the water in the radiators will be reduced 5 F for each successive radiator. If the mean-temperature of the water in the first radiator is 200 F, the mean temperature of the water in the seventh radiator will be 170 F, and, according to Table 5, Chapter 13, the heat dissipation of these two radiators will be to each other as 1.62 is to 1.15, or as 140 is to 100, and therefore if the last radiator is to dissipate as much heat as the first, its size must be 40 per cent larger.
Example A. Design a two-pipe, direct return, gravity circulation system for the lay out shown in Fig. 8. Assume that the main circuit from the boiler to the farthest flow riser and from the farthest return riser back to the boiler consists of 160 ft of pipe, 6 elbows, and 1 boiler.
Solution. Replacing the boiler by 3 elbow equivalents and assuming that the largest size of the main will be about 3 in., the total equivalent length of the main will be 160 plus 45. or 205 ft. Assuming that the center of the boiler will be about 4 ft lower than the horizontal portion of the main, and that the temperature drop will be 35 F for the
Fig. 8. A Two-Pipe Direct Return Gravity Circulation System
system, the pressure head caused by the difference in weight between the water in the flow and return risers joining the mains to the boiler will be about 0.6 in. of water.
Table 6 may be used to determine the size of the main as follows: Refer to Column 8 and note that for Sections AB and IA, which supply 105.6 Mbh, a 3-in. pipe is too large and a 2>-in. pipe is too small; hence, select 2in. rather than 3 in. as noted in Fig. 8 lor Section AB and 3 in. for Section IA. For Sections BC and HI, which supply 76.8 Mbh, a 2}^-in. pipe is almost exactly the correct size and is selected for both sections.
Tables 7 and 8 are based on the assumption that the boiler pressure head must be equal to the friction head in the mains, and that the several radiator pressure heads must be equal to the respective radiator and riser friction heads.
To design the radiator risers, use Table 7 and begin with the set nearest the boiler. The first floor risers must supply 28.8 Mbh. According to the table, lM-'n. flow and return risers will supply 26.0 Mbh; if the return riser is increased to 1 in., the capacity will be increased to 34.0 Mbh. This is considerably larger than necessary, and 1 J4-in. flow and return risers are selected. However, it must be remembered that the riser branches, which are the connections from the flow and return mains to the flow and return risers, are to be one size larger than the risers.
The second floor risers must supply 19.2 Mbh. According to the table, the capacity of 1 in. flow and return risers is 20.0 Mbh, and that size is selected.
The third floor risers must supply 9.6 Mbh. If a M-to. flow and a 54-in. return riser 321
