I have a problem. I am searching for a set of equations for a flow problem. You have water pipe system and there is a circumferential break of 1/8". How much water am I loosing through this gap. Pipe sizes vary, assume contant pressure and wall thickness varies. The pipe material is DIP (Ductile Iron Pipe). I don't know if there are other parameters needed. So I am looking for the equations used to determine the water lose for this kind of situation. Thanks.

have you tried Crane? Great for example problems of this sort and full of equations etc.

I don't know if there's a website to be honest - you could try googling it - in any case, the full title of the book is:
"Flow of Fluids through Valves, Fittings and Pipe" by Crane 1988 (Crane being Crane Ltd, Suffolk, England) - I find it great for general flow problems - it's got stuff like Bernoulli and k values and specific gravities and all sorts of stuff....let me know if you get anywhere and I'll try to help if you don't.
