PIPE FLOWFlow of water, oil and gas in pipes is of immense importance in civil engineering:• Distribution of water from source to consumers (private,
municipal, process industries)• Transport of waste water and storm water to recipient via
treatment plant• Transport of oil and gas from source to refineries (oil) or into
distribution networks (gas) via pipelines
Some data from Sweden:• Average water consumption: 330 liters/(person and day)• Purchase cost (“Anskaffningsvärde”) for water and waste
water pipes: 250 billion SEK• Length of all water pipes put together: 67000 km

TWO FACTORS OF IMPORTANCE IN DESIGN OF PIPES
1) Hydraulic transport capacity of the pipeIn a pressurized system the hydraulic transport capacity is a function of the fall of pressure along the pipe. The fall of pressure is caused by energy losses in the pipe:- Energy losses due to friction due to shear stresses along pipe
walls - Local losses that arises at pipe bends, valves, enlargements,
contractions, etc
2) Strength of pipe – usually determined on basis of high and low pressures in conjunction with flow changes (closing of valve or pump stop)

ENERGY LOSSES IN PIPE FLOW
Energy equation:
The objective is to determine a relation between energy losses andmean velocity in a pipe:

Energy losses due to frictionCalculated using Darcy – Weisbach’s formula(general friction formula for both laminar and turbulent flow; Eq. 6.12):
hf – energy loss due to friction over a distance, L (m), along the pipef – pipe friction factor [f=f(Re, ”Pipe wall roughness”); Fig. 6.10 –
Moody diagram, laminar flow → f = 64/Re; Re = VD/ν]D – Pipe diameter (m)V – average velocity in the pipe (m/s)Q – flowrate in the pipe (m3/s)

Local energy losses
• Minor head losses in pipelines occur at pipe bends, valves (“ventiler”), enlargement and contraction of pipe sections, junctions (“knutpunkter”) etc.
• In long pipelines these local head losses are often minor in comparison with energy losses due to friction and may be neglected.
• In short pipes, however, they may be greater than frictional losses and should be accounted for.
• Local losses usually result from abrupt changes in velocity leading to eddy formation which extract energy from the mean flow.
• Increase of velocity is associated with small head (energy) losses and decrease of velocity with large head losses

Local energy losses (cont.)
Usually it is possible to write local energy losses in pipe flow using thefollowing formula:
hlocal = local energy lossKlocal = local loss coefficient (different for different types of losses)V2/(2g) = kinetic energy (velocity head)
