2.4 Loss Calculation<br />

Since, the phenomenon <strong>of</strong> secondary flow is observed only at the end wall and at the mid space, it is assumed the loss is due<br />

to pr<strong>of</strong>ile loss, and at the end wall it will be sum <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>ile loss and secondary loss. Thus to segregate secondary loss at the<br />

end wall pr<strong>of</strong>ile loss at the mid space was subtracted. The value <strong>of</strong> energy loss coefficient is given by eq 3.4<br />
