Fluid Mechanics for Engineers

This document provides an overview of head loss equations for pressure pipe systems. It introduces the Darcy-Weisbach, Hazen-Williams, and Manning's equations for calculating head loss due to friction in pipes. It discusses how to determine head loss, flow rate, and pipe size using these equations. Example problems are provided to illustrate calculating head loss given flow rate, finding flow rate given head loss, and iterations required when friction is accounted for in an outlet pipe. Other head losses from fittings are also addressed.

Know how to calculate friction loss using the Darcy-Weisbach equation Know how to calculate other head losses

Studies have found that resistance to flow in a pipe is

Independent of pressure Linearly proportional to pipe length Inversely proportional to some power of the pipes diameter Proportional to some power of the mean velocity If turbulent flow, related to pipe roughness If laminar flow, related to the Reynolds number

Head Loss Equations

Darcy-Weisbach

Theoretically based
Frequently used-pressure pipe systems Experimentally based

Chezys (Kutters) Equation

Frequently used-sanitary sewer design

Mannings Equation

Darcy-Weisbach
hf=f*(L/D)*(V2/2g)
Where: f is friction factor (dimensionless) and determined by Moodys diagram (PDF available on Angel) L/D is pipe length divided by pipe diameter V is velocity g is gravitational constant

Problem Types

Determine friction loss Determine flow Determine pipe size


Some problems require iteration (guess f, solve for v, check for correct f)

Example Problems
PDFs are available on Angel:

Determine head loss given Q (ex 10.4) Find Q given head loss (ex 10.5) Find Q (iteration required) (ex 10.6)

Find Head Loss Per Length of Pipe

Water at a temperature of 20-deg C flows at a rate of 0.05 cms in a 20-cm diameter asphalted cast-iron pipe. What is the head loss per km of pipe?

Calculate Velocity (1.59 m/sec) Compute Reynolds # and ks/D (3.2E5; 6E-4) Find f using the Moodys diagram (.019) Use Darcy-Weisbach (head loss=12.2m per km of pipe)

Find Q given Head Loss

The head loss per km of 20-cm asphalted cast-iron pipe is 12.2 m. What is Q?

Cant compute Reynolds # so calculate Re*f1/2 (4.4E4) Compute ks/D (6E-4) Find f using the Moodys diagram (.019) Use Darcy-Weisbach & solve for V (v=1.59 m/sec) Solve Q=V*A (Q=.05 cms)

Find Q: Iteration Required

Similar to another problem we did previously; however, in this case we are accounting for friction in the outlet pipe

14

Iteration

Compute ks/D

(9.2E-5)

Apply Energy Equation to get the Relationship between velocity and f

Iterate (guess f, calculate Re and find f on Moodys diagram. Stop if solution matches assumption. If not, assume your new f and repeat steps).
15

Iterate

16

Other head losses

Inlets, outlets, fittings, entrances, exits


General equation is hL=kV2/2g

where k is a fitting loss coefficient (see Table 4-1, page 76 of your book)

17

Head Loss of Abrupt Expansion

(v1-v2)2 / 2g
Not v12-v22 If v2 =0 (pipe entrance into tank or reservoir) then the fitting loss coefficient is 1

18

Hazen-Williams

Q=0.283CD2.63S0.54 Q is discharge in gpm C is coefficient, see Table 4-2 ,page 76 D is pipe diameter in inches S is hydraulic gradient

19

Mannings Equation-English
Q=AV=(1.486/n)(A)(Rh)2/3S1/2 Where: Q=flow rate (cfs) A=wetted cross-sectional area (ft2) Rh=Hydraulic Radius=A/WP (ft) WP=Wetter Perimeter (ft) S=slope (ft/ft) n=friction coefficient (dimensionless)
