DYNAMIC LOSSES
Wherever eddying flow, is present, brought about by sudden changes in the direction or magnitude of the velocity of the air flowing, a greater loss in pressure takes place than would occur in a steady flow through a similar length of straight duct having a uniform cross section. The amount o' this loss, in excess of straight duct friction, is termed dynaritic loss. Al" though dynamic losses may be assumed to be caused by changes in area actually occupied by the air flow, for convenience they are divided into two general classes: (1) those caused by changes in direction of the duct and (*/ those caused by changes in cross-sectional area of the duct.

in 1: Subscript on C indicates cross section at which velocity is calculated. (See, lor example. Eauation iu iq text.)
Note 2: Superscript cumbers refer to references at end of chapter.
Dynamic losses vary substantially as the square of the mean velocity of
the air, and are therefore conveniently expressed as a fraction of the velocity head:
*-c(i5>)'
where
m
= dynamic pressure loss, inches of water. V ~ mean velocity of air flow, feet per minute.
^ -- an experimentally determined constant (dynamic loss coefficient). Where different areas are involved, subscripts are used to denote the area
which the coefficient applies, as Ci for inlet area, Ct for outlet area, and t-o lor orifice area.
The dynamic loss coefficient C is dimensionless and represents the numer of velocity heads lost at the conduit transition or bend. Values of the ynamic loss coefficient for elbows and other duct elements have been de tuned experimentally and are given in Tables 2 and 3. It should be
