Pipe Networks Studied by Nonlinear Resistors
The labor involved in solving the simultaneous head-loss equations for a pipe-line network is eliminated by an electric network analyzer comprised of special nonlinear resistors. Although these resistors automatically perform in a manner analogous to the Hazen-Williams formula, the procedure can be modified readily to represent the Colebrook-White adaptation of Darcy's law. Analogies between hydraulic and electric quantities are explained, and values of useful constants are tabulated. Accuracy of the procedure is shown to be satisfactory, and results of analyzing a network by means of the nonlinear electric circuit are compared with results of rigorous algebraic solutions.
