Hydraulic Nonlinear Resistances in Parallel:
Figure 1.10 shows three hydraulic valves in parallel. Equations 1.11A, 1.11B and 1.11C show how
to calculate the equivalent valve coefficient for valves in parallel C vep . The calculation is based on
the following two facts:
The differential pressure across the valves in parallel is the same.
The total flow through the valves equals the sum of the flow through each valve in parallel.
