FLUID FLOW in Pipes 2

Here are the steps to solve this problem: 1) Given: Flow rate (Q) = 0.40 m3/s Pipe diameter (D) = 600 mm = 0.6 m Length of pipe (L) = 8800 m Hazen-Williams coefficient (C) = 100 Pressure head at pumping station (H1) = 35 m 2) Use Hazen-Williams formula: Hf = (10.667L/C1.85D4.8755)Q1.852/100 Where, Hf is the head loss due to friction 3) Pressure head at distance L is: H2 = H1 - Hf 4

FLUID FLOW

IN
PIPES
PIPES
 Pipes are closed conduits through which fluids or gases
flows. Conduits may flow full or partially full. Pipes are
referred to as conduits (usually circular) which flow full.
Conduits flowing partially full are called open channels.
REYNOLDS NUMBER (Re)
 After exhaustive experiments in the 1880s,
Osborne Reynolds discovered that the flow
regime depends mainly on the ratio of inertial
forces to viscous forces in the fluid. This ratio
is called the Reynolds number
REYNOLDS NUMBER (Re)
FOR CIRCULAR PIPES

FOR NON-CIRCULAR PIPES


LAMINAR FLOW
 When the particles of a fluid move along the
straight parallel path in layers. The flow is
always laminar when the Reynolds number Re
is less than 2,000.
TURBULENT FLOW
 When the particles of a fluid moves in an
irregular path. Turbulent flow normally
occurs when the Reynolds number exceeds
2,000.

from reservoir A to B. The difference of water
surfaces between the reservoir is 20m. If the
minor losses constitute 10% of the major
losses, what is the amount of the frictional
losses?

 A 20cm diameter pipe of length 100m is used
to drain water in the tank. Determine the
discharge when the water level is 60m above
the exit of the pipe. Consider loss of head
due to entrance with k = 0.5 and f = 0.02.

passes through a tube. If the head loss is 0.20m,
what is the Reynolds number assuming laminar
flow?

If the pressure head at a pumping station is 35m,
what would be the pressure head at a distance of
8800m from the pumping station if it discharges
0.40m³/s. Use Hazen –Williams formula with
C=100. Diameter of pipe is 600mm.
