# Reservoir Connections

This dialog allows you to specify the connection details for all pipes connected to a reservoir. # For each pipe connection that you have made you can specify the following entries: Branch Height: This is the height of the pipe take off from the reservoir/vessel base. You should enter the height to the bottom of the pipe. Height Unit: The unit of length that you have used to specify the branch height. Entrance Type: This allows you to specify the way that the pipe enters or leaves the vessel/reservoir. Possible values are: ▪Ignore Entry/Exit Loss ▪Sharp Edged (Kd = 1.0 or 0.5) ▪Bellmouth (Kd = 0.8) ▪In Projecting (Kd = 0.78) ▪API or Liquid (Kd = 0.62) If you select an entrance/exit connection type other than 'Ignore Entry/Exit Loss', FluidFlow will include the losses automatically into the calculation solution. You will need to set the entrance/exit information for each connected pipe. To do this select each pipe from the drop down list at the Pipe Number field.
