T HE Engineering Experiment Station was established by actof the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois on De-cember 8, 1903. It is the purpose of the Station to conduct

investigations and make studies of importance to the engineering,manufacturing, railway, mining, and other industrial interests of the

State.

The management of the Engineering Experiment Station is vested

in an Executive Staff composed of the Director and his Assistant, the

Heads of the several Departments in the College of Engineering, and

the Professor of Industrial Chemistry. This Staff is responsible for

the establishment of general policies governing the work of the Station,including the approval of material for publication. All members of

the teaching staff of the College are encouraged to engage in scientific

research, either directly or in coiperatiqn with the Research Corps

composed of full-time research assistants, research graduate assistants,

and special investigators.

To render the results of its scientific investigations available to

the public, the Engineering Experiment Station publishes and dis-

tributes a series of bulletins. Occasionally it publishes circulars of

timely interest, presenting information of importance, compiled from

-various sources which may not readily be accessible to the clientele

of the Station.

The volume and number at the top of the front cover page are

merely arbitrary numbers and refer to the general publications of the

FLOW OF LIQUIDS IN PIPES OF CIRCULARAND ANNULAR CROSS-SECTIONS

I. INTRODUCTION1. Preliminary Statement.-This bulletin constitutes a report on

the continuation of the work the results of which were published in En-gineering Experiment Station Bulletin No. 182.*

In Bulletin No. 182 a brief discussion of the general theory ofthe flow of fluids was given, and it was indicated that the loss ofhead produced by friction could be calculated from the Darcy formula,or some modification of the Darcy formula:

Iv2

h f J (1)2gm

in which h = loss of head due to friction, in feet of fluid flowingf= friction factor1 = effective length of pipe, in feetv = average fluid velocity, in feet per second

dm= mean hydraulic radius, in feet (m = when the fluidfills a pipe of circular cross-section)

d = inside diameter of pipe, in feetg = acceleration of gravity, in feet per second per second

The friction factor f, as defined by Equation (1), depends uponthe roughness of the rubbing surface of the pipe, and varies with thehydraulic mean radius, the velocity of flow, and the density and vis-cosity of the fluid. Hence in studies of friction loss in pipes it hasbecome customary to correlate the friction factor f with the dimension-less ratio designated as Reynolds' number, involving the various fac-tors influencing the numerical value of f, or

S dv 4mv (2)R . (2)v v

in which R = Reynolds' numberd = inside diameter of pipe, in feet

m = mean hydraulic radius, in feetv = average fluid velocity, in feet per secondv = kinematic viscosity (or absolute viscosity pt divided by

density p), in square feet per second.

Reynolds' number for two sizes of standard wrought-iron pipe, with

two fluids, water and commercial calcium chloride brine.

(b) To determine the relation between the friction factor and

Reynolds' number for channels of annular cross-section, with waterand commercial calcium chloride brine.

which DEAN M. S. KETCHUM is the director, and of the Department

of Mechanical Engineering of which PROF. A. C. WILLARD is the head.

II. DESCRIPTION OF APPARATUS

4. Experimental Pipe Lines.-The pipe line used for the tests on

the 1¼/-in. pipe has been described in Bulletin No. 182. A similar

arrangement was used for the tests on the 2-in. pipe as shown in Fig.

1. The 2-in. pipe consisted of standard wrought-iron pipe having an

actual internal diameter of 2.08 in. The section through which the

friction pressure drop was measured consisted of two parallel lengths

of 53.5 ft. each, connected by a 2.12-ft. radius return bend of the

FLOW OF LIQUIDS IN PIPES

same pipe and suspended in a horizontal plane, giving a total lengthof 113.7 ft. Corrections were made for the additional friction in thereturn bend as discussed in Section 13. The test section, includingthe entrance and exit lengths of pipe, was made up of 20-ft. lengths,the ends of which were sawed square. After the burrs were removed,the lengths were carefully aligned and the joints butt-welded. Theinner surface of the pipe at these joints was examined after the testswere completed, and it was found to be free from any exceptionalroughness. This examination also proved that the piezometer holeswere free from burrs and that the surface of the pipe was not appre-ciably corroded.

5. Annular Sections.-The apparatus used for the tests on the an-nular sections was similar to that used for the single pipe, except thatthe annular sections were substituted as shown in Fig. 2, and pro-vision was made for the use of a constant head tank. The sectionsthemselves were three in number, and the outer casing for each sectionconsisted of a standard 2-in. wrought-iron pipe, having a total lengthof 23.0 ft. The piezometer holes were placed in the outside casings,the distance between holes in each case being 10.0 ft. Each sectionhad an internal core with conical plugs at the ends. The core wasextended approximately 4.5 ft. beyond the piezometer holes, and wassupported concentrically with the casing by means of knife edges orset screws as shown in Fig. 2.

The sections were designated as Nos. 1, 2, and 3 and the cores con-sisted of standard 1¼-in., 1-in., and %-in. pipes, respectively. Thecomplete dimensions are given in Table 1.

6. Elbows.-The apparatus used for the tests on elbows was alsosimilar to that used for the single pipe except that ten 90-deg. elbowswere substituted as shown in Fig. 3. In the case of the 2-in. elbows,ten elbows were connected by lengths of 2-in. pipe and were spaced5 ft. between centers. The ten 1%-in. elbows were connected by

lengths of 1%-in. pipe and were spaced 3 ft. between centers. Theends of the connecting pipes were sawed square and the burrs wereremoved. In making up the joints, all pipes were screwed equal dis-tances into the elbows.

The piezometers in each case were located as shown in Fig. 3, sothat the measured pressure loss included the loss in the elbows andthe connecting piping. The calculated loss in the straight pipe wasthen deducted as indicated in Section 15. The details of the elbowsare also shown in Fig. 3.

7. Pressure Measurement.-All pressure losses were measured bymeans of liquid manometers. Three types were used, adapting the

liquids to the magnitude of the differential pressures to be measured,and all pressures were converted to terms of feet of the fluid flowingfor the final record. All manometers were connected to piezometerrings, the details of which are shown in Fig. 1, and were so arrangedthat any air which collected could be easily expelled.

8. Temperature Measurement.--The temperatures of the fluid en-tering into and discharging from the test section were obtained bymeans of two calibrated thermocouples. Each thermocouple was madeof No. 22 B. & S. gage copper-constantan wire immersed in oil in a1 -in. glass tube, which was inserted a distance of 4 in. directly in theflowing fluid at positions indicated in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. All pipe lines

were lagged with a layer of 11/2 in. of hair felt, in order to reduce the

temperature drop to a minimum.

9. Velocity Measurement.-The rate of flow of the fluid was deter-

mined by observing the time required to discharge a given weight of

fluid. The auxiliary apparatus used for this purpose is shown in Figs.

1, 2, and 3.

III. METHOD OF CONDUCTING TESTS

10. Selection of Test Conditions.-For the purpose of this investi-

gation the temperature and velocity of the fluid were regarded as in-

dependent variables, and were varied over as wide a range as was

found practical. The two fluids used were water and solutions of com-

mercial calcium chloride. A typical analysis, on the dry basis, of thecalcium chloride used is as follows:

CaCl ................. ........... . .. ............... . 98.09

NaCl .................. ................................ . 1.68

CaSO.................. ...... . ............... 0.08Ca (OH), . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . .......... 0.09Insol. in HzO ....................................... 0.06

100.00

A test series consisted of a number of groups, each group run witha constant temperature and a number of different velocities. For anygiven test, the temperature and velocity were maintained constantduring the test.

11. Control of Test Conditions.-The fluid was maintained at aconstant temperature by means of a heater or cooler as the conditionsrequired. Since the pump was operated at a constant speed, the ve-locity of the fluid was controlled by means of a throttle valve in thedischarge pipe. The connections from the piezometer rings to themanometer were thoroughly purged of any entrapped air, and a periodof several minutes was always allowed for conditions of flow to becomeconstant before any observations were recorded.

IV. CALCULATIONS

12. Reynolds' Number.-Reynolds' number was, in all cases, cal-culated by substituting the numerical values in Equation (2), Sec-tion 1. In order to facilitate similar calculations the curves for the reci-procal of kinematic viscosity for water and calcium chloride brine areshown in Fig. 4.

The mean hydraulic radius in the case of the circular cross-sec-d

tion is numerically equal to 4. In the case of the annular cross-sec-

tions the mean hydraulic radius was calculated from the equation

r (d, - d2) 4

Page 16: Flow of liquids in pipes of circular and annular cross-sections

in which m = mean hydraulic radius, in feetd, = internal diameter of the casing, in feetd, = external diameter of the core, in feet.

In the case of circular cross-sections, it has been customary toevaluate the Reynolds' number using the diameter d instead of themean hydraulic radius m. This practice gives values numericallyequal to those that would be obtained by using 4m. In the case ofgeometrically dissimilar cross-sections, it is doubtful whether anymathematical process ostensibly expressing the dimensions in termsof an equivalent diameter can be strictly justified. That is, while twocross-sections having the same mean hydraulic radius may be mathe-matically equivalent, they may not be physically equivalent owing tothe fact that a different velocity distribution results from the differ-ence in the shape of the channels, and the head lost under otherwisesimilar conditions is influenced by the velocity distribution as well asby the average fluid velocity. However, in order to obtain Reynolds'numbers of comparable magnitudes in the cases of both circular andannular cross-sections, the Reynolds' numbers for the annular cross-sections in this bulletin have been evaluated on the basis of 4m, asindicated in Equation (2).

13. Friction Factor for Standard Pipe.-Preliminary work indi-cated that the pressure loss around the return portion of the 2-in.pipe (see Fig. 1), which included 7.0 ft. of straight pipe and 6.7 ft.of curved pipe, was 14.6 per cent of the pressure loss through theentire test section of 113.7 ft. The equivalent length of the returnportion accordingly was

113.7 X 0.146 = 16.7 ft. of straight pipe.

Therefore, the effective length of the 2-in. test section was

113.7 - (7.0 + 6.7) + 16.7 = 116.7 ft.

For the 11 -in. pipe the effective length of the test section, as givenin Bulletin No. 182, was 108.0 ft. These effective lengths were sub-stituted in Equation (1), Section 1, in order to obtain the frictionfactor f.

14. Friction Factor for Annular Sections.-In the case of the annu-lar sections, the effective length was the distance between piezometerrings as shown in Fig. 2. The mean hydraulic radius was calculatedfrom Equation (3). These values for the length and mean hydraulicradius were substituted in Equation (1) in order to obtain the fric-tion factor f.

Page 17: Flow of liquids in pipes of circular and annular cross-sections

FLOW OF LIQUIDS IN PIPES

15. Head Lost in Elbows.-The measured pressure loss between thepiezometer rings shown in Fig. 3, expressed in feet of fluid flowing,included the loss in the elbows themselves and the loss in the connect-ing piping. The latter was calculated from the friction factors previ-ously determined for the straight pipe. For any given test on theelbows, the Reynolds' number was calculated from the known velocity,kinematic viscosity, and pipe diameter. The friction factor correspond-ing to this Reynolds' number was then determined from Fig. 5, and thehead lost was obtained by using this value of the factor f, togetherwith the proper length, in Equation (1). The total length of pipeused was 34.3 ft. for the 11-in. pipe, and 51.3 ft. for the 2-in. pipe.This calculated loss in the straight pipe was then deducted from themeasured loss and the result was divided by 10 in order to obtain theloss for a single elbow. For the purpose of plotting, this loss was con-verted to terms of equivalent length of straight pipe, and also to headlost per velocity head.

V. RESULTS OF TESTS

16. Standard Wrought-Iron Pipe.-The results of the tests on thestandard 2-in. pipe are given in Table 2. The points representing theseresults have been plotted in Fig. 5, which also includes the results ofthe tests on the 11-in. pipe previously reported in Bulletin No. 182.The band of points shown in Fig. 5 therefore represents results ob-tained with two sizes of pipe, and with two fluids, over a wide rangeof specific gravity, temperature, and viscosity. This band of pointsmay be represented in the region of turbulent flow by a mean line, asshown in Fig. 5, such that the maximum deviation of any point fromthe line does not represent a deviation of more than 9 per cent in thevalue of the friction factor. Furthermore, the distribution of points issuch that it is not possible to draw two distinct lines thus separatingthe performance of the 11-in. and 2-in. pipes, or to distinguish be-tween the fluids used. Therefore, in cases where geometrically similarcross-sections are involved, the use of the Reynolds' number affordsa means of correlating the friction factors over a wide range of condi-tions, and the difference in roughness ordinarily encountered in com-mercial pipes does not introduce errors of sufficient magnitude to betaken into serious consideration. The difference between turbulent andviscous flow has been discussed in Bulletin No. 182.

Cross-Sections.-The results of thecross-sections are given in Tables 3,

4, and 5. These results have been plotted in Fig. 6. The points ob-tained from all three sections have been represented by a single meancurve. In this case, considerable deviations from the mean line maybe observed, the maximum deviation being approximately 14 per cent.There is also some tendency for the points to separate into distinctlines for the three sections. A consideration of the principles of di-mensional homogeneity may serve to explain these deviations.

The following statement is made by Stanton and Pannell:* "Simi-

larity of motion in fluids at constant values of the variable d- willv

exist, provided the surfaces relative to which the fluids move are geo-metrically similar, which similarity, as Lord Raleigh has pointed out,must extend to those irregularities in the surfaces which constituteroughness."

Since the same sized outside casing was used for all three of thesections tested, and the diameter of the core was varied, the sections

were not strictly geometrically similar. Furthermore, they were notsimilar to the circular sections. As indicated in Section 14, by evalu-ating the Reynolds' number on the basis of the mean hydraulic radius,cross-sections having the same mean hydraulic radius could be re-garded as being mathematically equivalent, thus making it possible toplot all points to the same scale. However, mathematical equivalencyin this case may not necessarily constitute physical equivalency, sincethe friction pressure loss is influenced by the velocity distributionacross the cross-section, as well as by the average velocity. Cross-sections having the same mean hydraulic radius do not necessarilyhave the same velocity distribution, and different friction pressurelosses may be obtained even when the average velocities and viscosi-ties are the same. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to find that greaterdeviations from the mean curve occur when the three different annularcross-sections are considered than those occurring in the case of thepipes with circular cross-sections. It is also reasonable to expect thatthe mean curve for the annular sections should not coincide with thecurve for the circular pipes. This lack of coincidence is shown inFig. 6, in which the curve for the circular pipes has been reproducedfor the purpose of comparison. It is also possible that the results fromthe three annular cross-sections should be represented by three sepa-rate curves, but since variations in roughness seem to introduce anelement of uncertainty that might lead to inconsistency, it has beenconsidered best to represent the results from all three of the sectionsby a single mean curve. This procedure may be justified by the limitedrange of cross-sections investigated, but it is doubtful whether asingle curve can be regarded as applicable to a wide range of cross-sections.

18. Elbows.-The results of the tests on elbows are given in Tables6 and 7. The relation between Reynolds' number and the friction lossin the 1%-in. elbow, expressed in terms of the equivalent length of11/-in. pipe, is shown in Fig. 7. A similar relation for the 2-in.elbow, expressed in terms of the equivalent length of 2-in. pipe, isalso shown in Fig. 7, and for the purpose of comparison, a similarcurve given by McAdams* has been reproduced.

The results must apparently all be represented by separate anddistinct curves. The tests on elbows reported in this bulletin wereall made with a solution of calcium chloride, and apparently a greater

head loss occurred in the 1¼-in. than in the 2-in. elbows. The testsreported by McAdams were run with oil and water, and includedelbows of from % in. to 6 in. No assurance can be had that the elbowsused were exactly comparable with the ones used in this investigation.

The pressure loss in an elbow results largely from the action ofeddies and cross currents rather than from surface friction alone.The exact nature of these eddies depends to a large extent on thecharacter of the elbow and the amount of pipe thread included, ratherthan on the size of the elbow. Therefore, it is doubtful whether anymethod of dimensional analysis is applicable in the case of elbows.Each elbow is probably an individual case, and coincidence of thecurves is hardly to be expected. Plotting the friction loss against theReynolds' number, however, affords a convenient means of correlatingthe data and of making comparisons provided that unwarranted con-clusions are not drawn.

A second method of expressing the friction loss in elbows is oftenused in practice. By this method the loss is expressed in terms of thehead lost in the elbow per velocity head in the pipe. For convenience,the results have been plotted on this basis and are shown in Fig. 8.

The results of these tests as shown in Figs. 7 and 8 are indicativeof the fallacy that exists in adopting a single value for either thelength of pipe equivalent to an elbow, or the ratio of head lost tovelocity head in the pipe, and in using such adopted values over awide range of conditions. The curves show varying values for bothof these quantities ordinarily used as constants in estimating thefriction loss in pipe lines.

VI. APPLICATION OF DATA

19. Statement of Problem.-Assume that the total pressure lossin a 2-in. pipe line containing 200 feet of straight pipe and 5 cast-iron 90-deg. elbows is required. The weight of brine circulated isto be 250 lb. per min. The average temperature of the brine is 25deg. F. The specific gravity of the calcium chloride brine to be usedis 1.15.

20. Solution of Problem.-The first step in the solution of theproblem is the determination of the velocity v and the reciprocal

of the viscosity- for the brine.v

Page 29: Flow of liquids in pipes of circular and annular cross-sections

FLOW OF LIQUIDS IN PIPES

v = (4)60XkXsXA

in which v = velocity of brine in feet per secondw = weight of brine circulated in pounds per minutek = density of water in pounds per cubic foot = 62.4s = specific gravity of brine

A = cross-sectional area of pipe in square feet.

Since the nominal diameter of 2-in. pipe is 2.08 in., the value of Ato be substituted in Equation (4) is

7rX (2.08) 2A X 0.0236 sq. ft.4 X 144

Hence the velocity is

250v= = 2.46 ft. per sec.60 X 62.4 X 1.15 X 0.0236

The reciprocal of the viscosity, from Fig. 4, at a temperature of25 deg. F. is 32 000.

Therefore, Reynolds' number from Equation (2) is

dv 2.08 X 2.46 X 32 000 3R 13 650.

v 12

From Fig. 7, the equivalent length of one 2-in. elbow, for a Reynolds'number of 13 650, is 28 pipe diameters. Therefore, the total equiva-

5 X 28 X 2.08lent length of the 5 elbows is 2 24.3 feet. The total12

effective length of pipe to be used in Equation (1) then becomes200 + 24.3 = 224.3 feet.

Using the same value of Reynolds' number, 13 650, from Fig. 5,the friction factor f is found to be 0.0082. The mean hydraulic

d 2.08radius is 12 = 0.0433. Hence the pressure loss as determined

4 12 X 4from Equation (1) is

0.0082 X 224.3 X (2.46)2h = 3.99 feet of brine.2 X 32.2 X 0.0433

Expressed in pounds per square inch this becomes

3.99 X 62.4 X 1.15- = 1.99 lb. per sq. in.144

VII. CONCLUSIONS

21. Summary and Conclusions.-As a result of this investigationthe following conclusions may be drawn:

(1) The use of the Reynolds' number affords a means of correlatingfriction factors over a wide range of conditions and is independent ofthe fluid used, in cases in which channels with geometrically similarcross-sections are involved.

(2) In the case of the two commercial pipes used in this investiga-tion the difference in the roughness of the rubbing surfaces did not in-troduce deviations in the friction factor of sufficient magnitude to betaken into serious consideration when a single mean curve was usedto represent all of the data.

(3) The use of the Reynolds' number for correlating friction fac-tors in cases of channels in which the cross-sections are not geometri-cally similar is not strictly justifiable, although for any particularsection it serves to correlate the friction factors with the temperature,velocity, and viscosity for all fluids.

(4) The Reynolds' number is not applicable for correlating thehead lost in elbows, but does afford a convenient means for express-ing and plotting the data.

(5) The loss in head in an elbow is largely influenced by thepresence of eddies and cross currents, rather than by surface friction.
