HEADLOSS

Convenient to break up energy losses, hlT, in fully developed pipe flow to major loses, hl, due to frictional effects along the pipe and minor losses, hlm, associated with entrances, fittings, changes in area,…

Minor losses not necessarily < Major loss , hl, due to pipe friction.

Minor losses traditionally calculated as: hlm = KV2/2

(K for inlets, exits, enlargements and contractions) where K is the loss coefficient or

hlm = (Cpi – Cp)V2/2 (Cpi & Cp for diffusers)

where Cp is the pressure recovery coefficient or hlm = f(Le/D)V2/2

(Le for valves, fittings, pipe bends)

where Le is the equivalent length of pipe.

Both K and Le must be experimentally determined and will depend on

geometry and Re, uavgD/. At high flow rates weak dependence on Re.

hlT = hl + hm; hlm = KV2/2

V1avg2/ 2 + p1/ + gz1= V2avg

2/2 + p2/ + gz2 + hlT

Minor losses due to inlets: hlm= p/ = K(V2/2); V2 = mean velocity in pipe

Head is lost because of viscous dissipation when flow is slowed down (2-3) and in violent mixing in the separated zones

For a sharp entrance ½ of the velocity head is lost at the entrance!

• hlm head losses are primarily due to separation

• Energy is dissipated deceleration after separation leading to violent mixing in the separated zones

Minor losses due to sudden area change: hlm= p/ = K(V2/2); V2 = faster mean velocity pipe

Entire K.E. of exiting fluid is dissipated through viscous effects, V of exiting fluid eventually = 0

so K = 1, regardless of the exit geometry.

DIFFUSERS

Diffuser data usually presented as a pressure recovery coefficient, Cp,

Cp = (p2 – p1) / (1/2 V12 )

Cp indicates the fraction of inlet K.E. that appears as pressure rise

[ hlm = p/ = (Cpi – Cp) 1/2V12]

The greatest that Cp can be is Cpi, the case of zero friction.

Cp will get from empirical data charts. It is not difficult to show that the ideal

(frictionless) pressure recovery coefficient is:Cpi = 1 – 1/AR2, where AR = area ratio
