2. General Energy Consideration
Z: the position
P/g: the pressure head
V2/2g: the velocity head
hp: head supplied by pump
ht :head given up to a turbine
hf : head loss
• local losses (bends, expansions, valves)
• frictional losses (function of pipe type, length)
a : Velocity coefficient and can be set to unity for regular & symmetrical cross-section like pipe

3. Bernoulli vs. Energy
Z is the position
P/g is the pressure head
V2/2g is the velocity head
Relates velocity and piezometric pressure along a streamline, steady, incompressible, inviscid flow.
Relates energy at two points for viscous, incompressible flow in a pipe, with accounting for additional energy addition / extraction

4. Energy Principle • So far, mechanical forces on a fluid – Pressure
– Gravity
– Shear Stress
• Considering Energy, we can solve:
– Power required to move fluids
– Effects of pipe friction
– Flow rates of fluids moving through pipes & orifices
– Effects of obstacles, bends, and valves on flow

5. First Law of Thermodynamics
• E = energy of a system
• Q = heat transferred to a system in a given time t
• W = work done by the system on its surroundings during the same time
• Energy forms: Kinetic and Potential energy of a system as a whole
and energy associated with motion of the molecules
(atomic structure, chemical energy, electrical energy)
E = Ek + Ep + Eu
+ heat transferred to the system
+ work done by the system
- heat transferred from the system
‐ work done on the system
Involves sign convention:

6. First Law of Thermodynamics

7. Derivation of Energy Equation
Reynolds Transport Theorem applied to First Law of Thermodynamics
E: extensive property of the system
e: intensive (energy per unit mass)

8. Flow Work Work is classified as: (work) = (flow work) +(shaft work)
Flow Work: Work done by pressure forces as the system moves through space
Force (F) = p A
Work = F Dl
= (pA) (V Dt)
At section 2, work rate done on surrounding fluid is → V2 p2 A2
At section 1, work rate done by surrounding fluid is → - V1 p1 A1

9. Shaft Work (any work not associated with a pressure force!)
• Work done on flow by a pump
– increases the energy of the system, thus the work is negative
• Work done by flow on a turbine
– decreases the energy of the system, thus the work is positive

10. Reynolds Transport Theorem: Simplified form
If the flow crossing the control surface occurs through a number of inlet and
outlet ports, and the velocity v is uniformly distributed (constant) across each port; then
Steady-Flow Energy Equation .
Q = rate of heat transfer TO the system (input)
W = rate of work transfer FROM the system (output)
m = rate of mass flow
h = specific enthalpy (h = u + p/ρ)

11. Example 7.2:
If the pipe is 20cm and the rate of flow 0.06m3/s, what is the pressure in the pipe at L=2000m? Assume hl=0.02(L/D)V2/2g
This energy equation assumes steady flow & constant density

12. Let’s relate “head” to “power & efficiency”
Power Equation
Let’s relate “head” to “power & efficiency”
Pump power:
Power delivered to turbine:
Both pump & turbine lose energy due to friction which is accounted for by the “efficiency” defined as the ratio of power output to power input.
If mechanical efficiency of the turbine is ηt ,
the output power supplied by the turbine:

13. Example 7.4: Power produced by a turbine
Discharge Q = 14.1 m3/s ; Elevation drop = 61 m
Total head loss = 1.5 m ; Efficiency = 87% Power = ?
Evaluations:
V1 = V2 = p1 = p2 = 0
z1-z2 = 61m
ht = (z1-z2) - hL
= 61 – 1.5 = 59.5 m
Power equation:
= (9810 N/m3) (14.1 m3/s) (59.5m)
= 8.23 MW
Efficiency equation:
= 0.87(8.23 MW) = 7.16 MW

14. Application of the Energy, Momentum and Continuity Principles in Combination
Neglecting the force due to shear stress
Sudden expansion head loss

15. Example 7.5: Force on a contraction in a pipe
Find horizontal force which is required to hold the contraction in place if P1=250kPa ; Q=0.707m3/s & head loss through the contraction
Assume α1= α2 = 0 (kinetic energy correction factor)
