Title: Flow In Circular Pipes


1
Flow In Circular Pipes
  • Objective
  • To measure the pressure drop in the straight
    section of smooth, rough, and packed pipes as a
    function of flow rate.
  • To correlate this in terms of the friction factor
    and Reynolds number.
  • To compare results with available theories and
    correlations.
  • To determine the influence of pipe fittings on
    pressure drop
  • To show the relation between flow area, pressure
    drop and loss as a function of flow rate for
    Venturi meter and Orifice meter.

Theoretical Discussion
  • Fluid flow in pipes is of considerable importance
    in process.
  • Animals and Plants circulation systems.
  • In our homes.
  • City water.
  • Irrigation system.
  • Sewer water system
  • Fluid could be a single phase liquid or
    gases
  • Mixtures of gases, liquids and solids
  • NonNewtonian fluids such as polymer melts,
    mayonnaise
  • Newtonian fluids like in your experiment
    (water)

Theoretical DiscussionLaminar flow
To describe any of these flows, conservation of
mass and conservation of momentum equations are
the most general forms could be used to describe
the dynamic system. Where the key issue is the
relation between flow rate and pressure drop.
  • If the flow fluid is
  • Newtonian
  • Isothermal
  • Incompressible (dose not depend on the pressure)
  • Steady flow (independent on time).
  • Laminar flow (the velocity has only one single
    component)

5
Laminar flow
Navier-Stokes equations is govern the flow field
(a set of equations containing only velocity
components and pressure) and can be solved
exactly to obtain the Hagen-Poiseuille relation .
Pz
Flow
If the principle of conservation of momentum is
applied to a fixed volume element through which
fluid is flowing and on which forces are acting,
then the forces must be balanced (Newton second
law)

Turbulent flow
  • When fluid flow at higher flowrates, the
    streamlines are not steady and straight and the
    flow is not laminar. Generally, the flow field
    will vary in both space and time with
    fluctuations that comprise "turbulence
  • For this case almost all terms in the
    Navier-Stokes equations are important and there
    is no simple solution
  • ?P ?P (D, ?, ?, L, U,)

10
Turbulent flow
All previous parameters involved three
fundamental dimensions, Mass, length, and time
From these parameters, three dimensionless
groups can be build

Turbulence Flow Instability
  • In turbulent flow (high Reynolds number) the
    force leading to stability (viscosity) is small
    relative to the force leading to instability
    (inertia).
  • Any disturbance in the flow results in large
    scale motions superimposed on the mean flow.
  • Some of the kinetic energy of the flow is
    transferred to these large scale motions
    (eddies).
  • Large scale instabilities gradually lose kinetic
    energy to smaller scale motions.
  • The kinetic energy of the smallest eddies is
    dissipated by viscous resistance and turned into
    heat. (head loss)

13
Velocity Distributions
  • Turbulence causes transfer of momentum from
    center of pipe to fluid closer to the pipe wall.
  • Mixing of fluid (transfer of momentum) causes the
    central region of the pipe to have relatively
    constant velocity (compared to laminar flow)
  • Close to the pipe wall eddies are smaller (size
    proportional to distance to the boundary)

Dp is the particle diameter, ? is the volume
fraction that is not occupied by particles

This equation contains the interesting behavior
that the pressure drop varies as the first power
of Uo for small Re and as Uo2 for higher Re.

Energy Loss in Valves
  • Function of valve type and valve position
  • The complex flow path through valves can result
    in high head loss (of course, one of the purposes
    of a valve is to create head loss when it is not
    fully open)
  • Ev are the loss in terms of velocity heads

Orifice flowmeters are used to determine a liquid
or gas flowrate by measuring the differential

Venturi Flowmeter
The classical Venturi tube (also known as the
Herschel Venturi tube) is used to determine
flowrate through a pipe.  Differential pressure
is the pressure difference between the pressure
measured at D and at d
25
Boundary layer buildup in a pipe
Because of the share force near the pipe wall, a
boundary layer forms on the inside surface and
occupies a large portion of the flow area as the
distance downstream from the pipe entrance
increase. At some value of this distance the
boundary layer fills the flow area. The velocity
profile becomes independent of the axis in the
direction of flow, and the flow is said to be
fully developed.

Pipe Flow Head Loss(constant density fluid flows)
  • Pipe flow head loss is
  • proportional to the length of the pipe
  • proportional to the square of the velocity (high
    Reynolds number)
  • Proportional inversely with the diameter of the
    pipe
  • increasing with surface roughness
  • independent of pressure
  • Total losses in the pipe system is obtained by
    summing individual head losses of roughness,
    fittings, valves ..itc

27
Pipe Flow Summary
  • The statement of conservation of mass, momentum
    and energy becomes the Bernoulli equation for
    steady state constant density of flows.
  • Dimensional analysis gives the relation between
    flow rate and pressure drop.
  • Laminar flow losses and velocity distributions
    can be derived based on momentum and mass
    conservation to obtain exact solution named of
    Hagen - Poisuille
  • Turbulent flow losses and velocity distributions
    require experimental results.
  • Experiments give the relationship between the
    fraction factor and the Reynolds number.
  • Head loss becomes minor when fluid flows at high
    flow rate (fraction factor is constant at high
    Reynolds numbers).
