Steam Pipe Calculation
The pressure loss in the steam pipes is calculated. It is necessary to add the local loss of parts in the elbow, tee.

If pressure unit as bar G, mbar G etc, the inlet pressure is upper pressure.
if pressure unit as bar Abs, mbar Abs etc, the inlet pressure is absolute pressure.
The formula used is the Colebrook–White equation for turbulent flow (Re>4000). (Formül \ref{eu_Colebrook})
\begin{equation}\label{eu_Colebrook}
\frac{1}{\sqrt{f }}=-2\log \left ( \frac{2.51}{Re\sqrt{f}}+\frac{\varepsilon /D}{3.71} \right )
\end{equation}
From the Darcy-Weisbach equation, the friction loss along the pipe is found.
\(\small{\Delta P=f\displaystyle\frac{L}{D}\displaystyle\frac{\rho v^{2}}{2} }\) Pa'dır.
Here, \(\small f\) dimensionless friction coefficient, \(\small D\) inner diameter in meters, \(\small Re\) dimensionless reynolt number, \(\small\varepsilon\) roughness in meters, \( \small L\) is pipe length, \(v\) is velocity in m/s, \(\rho\) is specific mass in kg/m3.
