The basic approach to all piping systems is to write the Bernoulli equation between two points, connected by a streamline, where the conditions are known. For example, between the surface of a reservoir and a pipe outlet. The total head at point 0 must match with the total head at point 1, adjusted for any increase in head due to pumps, losses due to pipe friction and so-called "minor losses" due to entries, exits, fittings, etc.[1] Friction losses are a complex function of the system geometry, the fluid properties and the flow rate in the system which can be significantly reduced with the help of optimized geometry and thereby reducing minor losses and losses due to system geometry. It is apparent that the optimized design is better than the conventional design of T-joint.
