Head losses in multi branch outlet irrigation pipe
Calculate the theoretical head losses as the pipe have no outlets.
Than multiply the result with the appropriate coefficient from the following table.
There are 2 types of coefficients:
1st outlet distance is equal to all other outlets distances.
1st outlet distance is equal to the half of all other outlets distances.
