Pressure drop in water pipes

[Apple Chan <BSAPPLEC@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all

1. It is found that the pressure drop due to friction inside water pipe has
not been considered in the Type 31 pipe component in TRNSYS.  How can we
include this effect since the magnitude of pressure drop inside water pipe
will influence the energy consumption of water pump?

2. Even the first question is solved, how the pressure drop can be related
to the energy consumption of the water pump since the energy consumption of
the water pump is related to flow rate and the power coefficients only?

3. It always happen that when a TRNSYS input file (*.TPF or *.dck) is
transferred from one PC to another, the simulation cannot be run.  Is there
anyone who has this kind of experience before?

Many thanks,

Apple Chan
