9.1 General Concept of Flows in Pipe
As a uniform flow enters a pipe, the velocity at the pipe walls must decrease to zero (no-slip boundary condition). Continuity indicates that the velocity at the center must increase.
Thus, the velocity profile is changing continuously from the pipe entrance until it reaches a fully developed condition. This distance, L, is called the entrance length.

9.1 General Concept of Flows in Pipe
For fully developed flows (x>>L), flows become parallel, , the mean pressure remains constant over the pipe cross-section

9.1 General Concept of Flows in Pipe
Flows in a long pipe (far away from pipe entrance and exit region, x>>L) are the limit results of boundary layer flows. There are two types of pipe flows: laminar and turbulent

MECH 221 – Chapter 9
9.1 General Concept of Flows in Pipe
Whether the flow is laminar or turbulent depends on the Reynolds number, where Um is the cross-sectional mean velocity defined by

9.1 General Concept of Flows in Pipe
When pipe flow is turbulent. The velocity is unsteadily random (changing randomly with time), the flow is characterized by the mean (time-averaged) velocity defined as:
Due to turbulent mixing, the velocity profile of turbulent pipe flow is more uniform then that of laminar flow.

9.1 General Concept of Flows in Pipe
Hence, the mean velocity gradient at the wall for turbulent flow is larger than laminar flow.
The wall shear stress, ,is a function of the velocity gradient. The greater the change in with respect to y at the wall, the higher is the wall shear stress. Therefore, the wall shear stress and the frictional losses are higher in turbulent flow.

9.2 Poiseuille Flow Consider the steady, fully developed laminar flow in
a straight pipe of circular cross section with constant diameter, D.
The coordinate is chosen such that x is along the pipe and y is in the radius direction with the origin at the center of the pipe.

9.2 Poiseuille Flow
For a control volume of a cylinder near the pipe center, the balance of momentum in integral form in x-direction requires that the pressure force,
acting on the faces of the cylinder be equal to the shear stress acting on the circumferential area, hence
In accordance with the law of friction (Newtonian fluid), have:

Upon integration:
The constant of integration, C, is obtained from the condition of no-slip at the wall. So, u=0 at y=R=D/2, there fore C=R2/4 and finally:

pressure gradient and to the fourth power of the radius of the pipe.

9.2 Poiseuille Flow The relation between the negative pressure gradient and the
mean velocity of the flow is represented in engineering application by introducing a resistance coefficient of pipe flow, f.
This coefficient is a non-dimensional negative pressure gradient using the dynamic head as pressure scale and the pipe diameter as length scale, i.e.,

pipes is:
hl=head loss due to frictional effects in fully developed flow in constant area conduits

9.4 Turbulent Pipe Flow For turbulent flows’ we cannot evaluate the pressure
drop analytically. We must use experimental data and dimensional analysis.
In fully developed turbulent pipe flow, the pressure drop, , due to friction in a horizontal constant-area pipe is know to depend on:
Pipe diameter, D Pipe length, L Pipe roughness, e Average flow velocity, Um Fluid density, Fluid viscosity,

9.4 Turbulent Pipe Flow In order to solve the pipe flow problems numerically,
a mathematical formulation is required for the friction factor, f, in terms of the Reynolds number and the relative roughness.
The most widely used formula for the friction factor is that due to Colebrook,
This an implicit equation, so iteration procedure is needed to determine.

Pipe flow results sometimes can be used for non-circular ducts or open channel flows to estimate the head loss

For wide rectangular ducts with b>>a:
