Topic 1: Real Fluid Flow: Learning Outcomes

This document discusses steady fluid flow in pipes. It covers the following topics: 1. Deriving the Darcy-Weisbach equation for head losses due to friction in turbulent pipe flow. 2. Defining the hydraulic mean depth and flow friction factor used in the Darcy-Weisbach equation. 3. Explaining that the Darcy-Weisbach equation can be used to describe head losses in both closed pipes and open channels, and providing an example calculation. The key aspects covered are the derivation of the Darcy-Weisbach equation from force balances, defining the relevant parameters, and providing an example application to calculate head losses in pipe flow.

INTRODUCTION
 In most engineering applications, flow
conditions are usually turbulent in nature
 Here, expression will be derive for losses due

to friction in a conduit when the flow is steady


and uniform under turbulent condition
 Applicable for pipe and open channel flow

 Consider a small element of fluid within a conduit


 Cross sectional, A
 Steady flow the sum of all forces in flow direction
is zero 9/9/2014

 Forces acting on the control volume include


– Static pressures  p1 and p p2 (opposite direction)
– Shear stress  opposite direction
– Weight  downwards 9/9/2014

 Shear force =
shear stress,  X area contact with the fluid, A

 Area = length, L X wetted perimeter, P

 Wetted perimeter, P  perimeter contact with the


fluid

 Shear stress is a function of the type surface that


the wall of conduit made of

 Stress dependent on the resistance offered by the
surface of the wall of conduit
– Measured by dimensionless flow friction factor, f
– f is the measure of the roughness of the surface
