  3. Fully Developed Flow Entrance length:

  4. Fully Developed Laminar Flow • We’ve done this one already in chapter 6

  5. What about Turbulent Flow Typically: n is between 6 and 10

  6. Dimensional Analysis • Pressure Drop depends on • Mean velocity V • Diameter D • Pipe length l • Wall Roughness e • Viscositym • Densityr • By dimensional Analysis

  7. Pressure drop must increase linearly with length of tube • Recall from chapter 5 • Therefore we can say that (part of) the loss in a pipe is Friction factor – look up in table

  8. Moody Diagram (Friction Factor) For laminar For non-laminar flow approximately true that
