Contents • Introduction • Laminar and Turbulent Flows • Friction and Head Losses • Head Loss in Laminar Flows • Head Loss in Turbulent Flows • Head Loss of Steady Pipe Flows • Minor Losses • Examples
For real fluid flows Head Loss
Head Loss: • Losses due to friction • Minor Losses • entrance and exit • sudden change of cross sections • valves and gates • bends and elbows • ……
Laminar Flows: • Movement of any fluid particle is regular • Path lines of fluid particles are smooth Turbulent Flows: • Movement of any fluid particle is random • Path lines of fluid particles are affected by mixing
Transition from Laminar to Turbulent Flow: • for different fluid • for different diameter of pipe
Laminar Flows: Turbulent Flows:
Critical Condition Reynolds Number
Momentum Equation A : area of the cross-section P: wetted perimeter
Reynolds Stresses Mean flux of horizontal momentum: Equivalent Shear Stress:
