Reynolds Experiment• Reynolds Number

• Laminar flow: Fluid moves in smooth streamlines

• Turbulent flow: Violent mixing, fluid velocity at a point varies randomly with time

• Transition to turbulence in a 2 in. pipe is at V=2 ft/s, so most pipe flows are turbulent

Shear Stress in Pipes• Steady, uniform flow in a pipe: momentum

flux is zero and pressure distribution across pipe is hydrostatic, equilibrium exists between pressure, gravity and shear forces

• Since h is constant across the cross-section of the pipe (hydrostatic), and –dh/ds>0, then the shear stress will be zero at the center (r = 0) and increase linearly to a maximum at the wall.

• Head loss is due to the shear stress.

• Applicable to either laminar or turbulent flow

• Now we need a relationship for the shear stress in terms of the Re and pipe roughness

Nikuradse’s Experiments

• In general, friction factor

– Function of Re and roughness

• Laminar region

– Independent of roughness

• Turbulent region– Smooth pipe curve

• All curves coincide @ ~Re=2300

– Rough pipe zone• All rough pipe curves flatten

out and become independent of Re

Pipe Entrance

• Developing flow

– Includes boundary layer and core,

– viscous effects grow inward from the wall

• Fully developed flow

Entrance Loss in a Pipe• In addition to frictional losses, there are

minor losses due to – Entrances or exits– Expansions or contractions– Bends, elbows, tees, and other fittings– Valves

• Losses generally determined by experiment and then corellated with pipe flow characteristics

• Loss coefficients are generally given as the ratio of head loss to velocity head

• K – loss coefficent– K ~ 0.1 for well-rounded inlet (high Re)– K ~ 1.0 abrupt pipe outlet– K ~ 0.5 abrupt pipe inlet

Abrupt inlet, K ~ 0.5

EGL & HGL for Losses in a Pipe

• Entrances, bends, and other flow transitions cause the EGL to drop an amount equal to the head loss produced by the transition.

• EGL is steeper at entrance than it is downstream of there where the slope is equal the frictional head loss in the pipe.

• The HGL also drops sharply downstream of an entrance
