Detailed Description

One fitting, with its own resistance coefficient and its own provenance.

A component rather than a number on a pipe, so an elbow is a thing on the
drawing with a Crane citation behind it. :class:`Pipe`'s ``K_minor`` is the
shortcut for when that is more bookkeeping than a run is worth.

diagnostics()

dict[str, float] feedtwin.comps.elements.Fitting.diagnostics	(		self,
		float	mdot,
		FlowConditions	flow )

Derived quantities worth reporting: velocity, Reynolds number, K.

Never consumed by a solver. This is what a frame and a report show, and
what makes a result inspectable rather than just a number.

pressure_drop()

float feedtwin.comps.elements.Fitting.pressure_drop	(		self,
		float	mdot,
		FlowConditions	flow )

Flow-dependent pressure loss [Pa]. Always non-negative.

A *loss*: it opposes the flow, so it lowers the downstream pressure
whichever way the fluid is going. Reverse flow is each component's own
business -- symmetric for a pipe, very much not for a check valve.

Anything that does **not** depend on the direction of flow belongs in
:meth:`static_head`, not here. See that method for why the distinction
is load-bearing rather than tidy.
