8-Ball, thanx, though it took a while to get a grasp of it.
Analogy is a good translation to "liknelse".
OK, the flow rate / pressure drop relation is logaritmic. So if I meassure all my components separately
I can´t assume that the sum of all these flow restriction equals the total flow resistance in my system, when
assembled.
But: If one WB has twice the flow resistance of another WB, meassured separately, will there still be a 1:2
resistance ratio between the two blocks when in the system?
Any ideas how I cen determine the flow resistance in two parallell loops, after a Y-splitter? If there was a
linear relation this would be peanuts (oops, is that a kick approaching my but?), but so it isn´t.
regards
Mikael S.
