CALCULATION OF STEADY STATE INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW IN LARGE NETWORKS OF PIPES

A method of linearization is described which enables the calculation of the steady state flow in networks of pipes and pumps handling an incompressible fluid. In an Appendix a numerical method is outlined for the repeated solution of large sparse sets of linear equations.
