Intake Headlosses
1. Entrance Loss
Entrance losses are due to two phenomena;
a) Velocity V
f
of the flow above the intake site changes to the value V in the inlet
section,
b) Sudden contraction of the cross-section causes headloss.

Factor varies from 0.8 to 0.4 depending on the intake angle . The greater values can be
