Head Loss Calculations Bernoulli and Pipe Flow ¢ The Bernoulli equation that we worked with was a bit simplistic in the way it looked at a fluid system ¢ All real systems that are in motion suffer from some type of loss due to friction ¢ It takes something to move over a rough surface 2 Pipe Flow

Bernoulli and Pipe Flow ¢ Since we are dealing with an uncompressible fluid, the pressures at points 1 and 2 should be the same. 7 Pipe Flow

Bernoulli and Pipe Flow ¢ If we ran the system experimentally and measured the two pressures, they would not be the same. 8 Pipe Flow p

Bernoulli and Pipe Flow ¢ The pressure at point 2 would be lower than the pressure at point 1. 9 Pipe Flow

Bernoulli and Pipe Flow ¢ The pressure is being lost (actually the pressure energy) due to friction as the flow moves along the pipe. 10 Pipe Flow p

Friction Losses ¢ The thickness of the quarter is dz and it has a perimeter length of P (πD) ¢ This makes the area in contact with the sides of the pipe equal to Pdz = πDdz ¢ At the wall there is a shearing stress, τw, which is the stress between the wall and the outer layer of the fluid 13 Pipe Flow Friction Losses ¢ Then the force from the wall on the section of fluid (opposing the fluid flow) will be equal to 14 Pipe Flow Fretarding = τ w Pdz = τ w π Ddz
Friction Losses ¢ The pressure on the upstream (left face) of the section will produce a force accelerating the section 15 Pipe Flow Fretarding = τ w Pdz = τ w π Ddz Faccelerating = pA = p π D
4 Friction Losses ¢ As we move from the left face to the right face (dz) the change in pressure will equal dp 16 Pipe Flow Fretarding = τ w Pdz = τ w π Ddz Faccelerating = pA = p π D
