Velocity profile: Friction force of wall on fluid open channel pipe
3
For pipes of constant diameter and incompressible flow V avg stays the same down the pipe, even if the velocity profile changes same V avg same Conservation of Mass
4
For pipes with variable diameter, m is still the same (due to conservation of mass), but V 1 ≠ V 2 D2D2 V2V2 2 1 V1V1 D1D1 m m
5
Laminar and Turbulent Flows
6
Re < 2300 laminar 2300 ≤ Re ≤ 4000 transitional Re > 4000 turbulent Definition of Reynolds number:
7
Hydraulic diameter: Ac = cross-section area P = wetted perimeter Dh = 4Ac/ P
8
Consider a round pipe of diameter D. The flow can be laminar or turbulent. In either case, the profile develops downstream over several diameters called the entry length L h. L h /D is a function of Re.
9
Comparison of: laminar and turbulent flow Instantaneous profiles
10
slope LaminarTurbulent ww ww w,turb > w,lam w = shear stress at the wall, acting on the fluid

12
Terms cancel since 1 = 2 and V 1 = V 2 Conservation of x-momentum
13
or cancel (horizontal pipe) V 1 = V 2, and 1 = 2 (shape not changing) h L = irreversible head loss & it is felt as a pressure drop in the pipe Energy equation (in head form):
15
w = func( V, , D, ) = average oughness of the inside wall of the pipe
16
But for laminar flow, roughness does not affect the flow unless it is huge Laminar flow: f = 64/Re Turbulent flow: f = Moody Chart
18
Minor Losses: K L is the loss coefficient. i pipe sections j components
