Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the flow characteristics in the elbow draft-tub e, placing special emphasis on the bent part of the tube. The first part of the study consisted of designing and building several different pipe bends and testing them with a Pitot tube for filamental·velocities and pressures. Measurements for loss of head were made for various rates of flow to determine which shape of bend offered the least resistance to the flowing water.
