Pipe Flow: Hagen (1839)
Hagen first observed the transition from laminar to turbulence.
Didnt realise it was dependent on fluid viscosity
7
Pipe Flow: Hagen & Reynolds
Hagen (1839) discovered that there were 2 flow regimes, but Reynolds (1883)
showed that this depended on Re. They carried out a number of experiments
measuring the relationship between pressure drop and water velocity.
As the velocity increases, P/L increases
linearly (slope = 1). This is the laminar
region.
At point B the line becomes irregular
(scattered data points) until point C when it
becomes straight with slope = 1.7-2.0
(depending on the roughness of the pipe
walls). This is the turbulent region.

If the velocity decreases from high to low, the laminar region is re-entered at a lower velocity at point A. From
Hagens data for pipe flow, point A occurs at 2100 (Re) and point C occurs at 4000 (Re). A B - C is the
Transistional region. Re
A
~ 2300 is now an accepted design value for pipe flow transition.

Upon entry, viscous effects grow from the wall as fluid
flows down tube.
Viscous boundary layers grown downstream to retard flow.

Fully Developed Flow in a Pipe
When a fluid with uniform velocity enters a pipe, the layers of fluid adjacent to
the walls are slowed down, forming a boundary layer where viscous forces
dominate over inertial forces.
The thickness of the boundary layer increases downstream from the mouth to a
maximum, after which flow in the pipe is fully developed. If the two boundary
layers meet, laminar flow exists in the pipe. If the boundary layers dont meet,
inertial forces are dominating and the flow is turbulent.

Laminar Flow in a Pipe
Laminar flow occurs when:
Viscosity is high/low ? Pipe diameter is large/small ? velocity is high/low?
Laminar flow can be pictured as layers of fluid which do not mix.
Consider a fluid flowing from left to right through a horizontal pipe.
Pressure causes the fluid to flow (i.e. higher pressure at z=0 than at z=L )

Turbulent Flow in a Pipe
The observed velocity profile for turbulent flow is flatter than for laminar flow.
Due to the complex nature of the flow, no expression has been derived for
the variation in velocity across the radius.
However, at high Reynolds numbers in smooth pipes, it has been found that
velocity is proportional to 1/7 power of the distance from the wall.
Eq 9. Prandtl 1/7 Power Law
As for laminar flow, the flowrate can be calculated by considering an annulus
and integrating over the pipe radius, which gives:
The average velocity is closer to the centre-line
velocity than for laminar flow

Fluid velocities in Pipes
If the driving force behind a fluid is gravity. The required flowrate will
dictate choice of pipe diameter. If the fluid is to be pumped, economics
(annual operating cost) will dictate choice of pipe diameter.
As a guideline, the optimum velocities that should be maintained in a pipe
line, in terms of fluid density, are given below.
As an even more general rule (easy to remember):
For liquids such as water, velocity should be approx 1 m/s.
For gases such as air, velocity should be approx 10 m/s.

Frictional losses during flow in pipes
Laminar Flow -remember dimensional analysis
When a fluid flows in a pipe there is a loss of energy due to friction, which occurs as a
result of viscous shear caused by the walls. When energy is being lost due to friction,
there is a drop in pressure that for laminar flow is given by the Hagen-Poiseuille equation.
For a pipe of constant diameter, D, and for incompressible flow, pressure varies with pipe

Frictional losses during flow in pipes
2 methods to obtain f as a function of roughness and Re
1. The Moody Diagram (White Fig 7.13, PWR fig 6.13)
-see White table 6.1 for values of roughness
2. Implicit and explicit equations
- For Re > 4000, The Colbrook equation (White eq. 6.48, PWR eq.
7.6.28) requires an iterative solution for f:

Data for friction factor is presented on a friction chart which shows plots of f against Re for
different values of pipe relative roughness. Everything is dimensionless.
Relative roughness is a ratio of the absolute roughness to the pipe diameter.
ie.
Values for can be found in standard texts. Some commonly used are:
Note:
In the turbulent region, f becomes independent of Re (see dotted line). This occurs earlier for
rougher pipes.

In addition to pipe walls causing energy losses, fittings within the piping system
also cause energy losses. Pipe fittings include bends, valves, expansions,
contractions, T-pieces etc. Darcys formula can be written as:

Minor Frictional losses in Pipe Fittings
Frictional losses can be represented as a number of velocity heads. For pipe
fittings, experiments have been carried out to give the frictional loss as a number
of velocity heads. See table listing velocity heads.
Can also express the energy loss in a pipe fitting as an equivalent length of pipe
to be substituted into Darcys equation. Table below shows how much to
increase the pipe length by, in terms of d (the pipe diameter).

Sudden Enlargement:
When a change in diameter is gradual, little energy is lost due to turbulence.
When a change in diameter is great and sudden, the flow patterns are very
turbulent, resulting in a lot of energy being lost to turbulence.

equation, it has been shown that:

Pa.s) is to be pumped from a
storage vessel, which is at atmospheric pressure, into a header tank, also at
atmospheric pressure. The pipe has a diameter of 150 mm, a total length of 150
m and a roughness of 0.03 mm. In the pipework there are two globe valves, both
fully open, four 90 standard radius bends and an in-line filter with a frictional loss
equivalent to 15 velocity heads. The entry to the header tank is 40 m above the
water level in the storage vessel. The required flowrate is 120 tonnes/hr. What
power needs to be supplied to the pump assuming an overall efficiency of 65%?

Non-circular ducts
So far, all calculations have been related to flow in circular pipes. Other possible
flow areas also need to be considered. For example, flow through a rectangular
duct (used for air-conditioning), and flow through an annulus. As long as the
shape is not too complex, all previous formulae can still be used whereby the
equivalent length of diameter is replaced by the hydraulic mean diameter or
sometimes known as the equivalent diameter.

Kinetic Energy Correction Factor
In the Bernoulli equation, kinetic energy per unit mass (J/kg) is given by v
2
/2.
Considering the velocity profiles previously derived, it is apparent that the sum
of kinetic energy over the velocity profile may not be the same as simply using
the mean, or bulk, velocity in the expression v

/2.
Consider first the kinetic energy (KE) when using the bulk velocity:

actually double that based on the bulk velocity.

Reynolds Number, Power Law fluid: Critical Value
Critical value for transition from laminar to turbulent flow depends
on power law index. Different approaches/experiments used.

transition)

Example
A Newtonian oil (specific gravity = 0.9, = 0.1 Pas) is being pumped into a mixer
at v=1 m/s along a pipe of diameter of D=0.20 m. The process has been altered so
that an oil-in-water emulsion is used in place of the oil. The scientist claims they
have matched the viscosity so that flow conditions will be the same.
What is the wall shear rate ?
What is the Re ?
What flow regime is it in?
You observe differences in the pressure drop for the emulsion, and later
discover that the scientist matched the viscosity using a rheometer at a shear
rate of 1s
-1
.
But when you measure the emulsion rheology using a rheometer, you find it
follows a power-law with K=0.1 Pas
0.5
and n = 0.5.
What flow regime is the emulsion in ?
Determine apparent and actual wall shear rate, the apparent viscosity at the wall
shear rate and Re.
Hint: shear rate = 8v/D

General equation for Q for time-independent fluids:
In a Bingham Fluid, shear rate is defined as:
The function is discontinuous because there is no shearing flow is regions when the
stress is less than the yield stress
(inner portion of tube)
(outer portion of tube)
Need to integrate for each region to get Q or average velocity, and since the shear
rate = 0 when the stress is below the yield stress.

This puts the wall shear stress and shear rate as a direct function
of the measurable pressure drop and flow rate.
For a Newtonian fluid, i.e. n=1, this reduces to
Therefore, to simplify equations for Power law fluid, this shear
rate is used as a reference, i.e. apparent shear rate is :
