Abstract
This paper presents a summary of the experimental data and computations, therefrom obtained in a series of tests to determine the loss of hydraulic head due to sudden enlargement in cross-section of circular pipes. The question arose in connection with the theory of the jet pump, and its investigation as a thesis led to some interesting conclusions which are herein set forth. Observations were made during December, 1911, and January to March, inclusive, 1912, at the Hydraulic Laboratory, University of California.
