1 Major and Minor Losses BSEN 3310 Christina Richard November 18, 2014 Abstract: In this experiment, major and minor losses of a pipe were found. These losses were computed by using a technovate fluid circuit system for the major losses and an Edibon Energy Losses in Bends Module FME05 for the minor losses. For the major losses, the water flow was pushed through a small diameter pipe and a large diameter pipe. This was to show how diameter effects losses. For the minor losses, the effect of different fitting types were calculated. The module contained a long elbow, a sudden enlargement, and sudden contraction, a medium elbow, a short elbow and a right angle fitting. The K values were found to show the amount of loss at each fitting. From the pressure drops recorded by each device, the pressure drops, friction factors, velocity and K values were computed. For the major losses, the large pipe friction factor versus velocity squared for the theoretical values and experimental values were close. This shows that the calculated values are accurate for the large diameter pipe. For the small diameter pipe, the percent error between the theoretical and experimental values were high. The theoretical values were much higher than the experimental because they did not take everything in the pipe into effect. When comparing the large and small pipes, the theoretical data is much more accurate in the large pipe than in the small pipe. In the minor losses, the pressure drop versus the velocity squared values were plotted. As the velocity increases, the pressure drop increases. The right angle fitting had the highest head loss, while the enlargement fitting had the smallest head loss. From the slope of each fitting, the experimental K value was found. These experimental values were compared to by theoretical fitting values. The highest percent error of the fitting was from the contraction, while the lowest percent error was from the right angle fitting. The errors come from the theoretical (calculated) values do not take everything from the pipe into account when being calculated. Introduction: The major and minor losses in pipes is due to the friction in the pipes and the fitting type of each pipe and the connection. These losses effect the volumetric flow rate of the fluid through the system. The volumetric flow rate is the velocity of the fluid multiplied by the crosssectional area. Major losses are due to friction while, minor losses are due to the velocity change in bends, valves and changes in area. Major losses are formed in long length pipes and are due to the head loss in the straight sections. A head loss is a pressure drop in the pipes. If there were no friction in the pipe, the head loss would be zero. The smoother the material of
2 the pipes, the less friction against the walls of the pipe that is formed. In minor losses, the components such as valves and bends interrupt the flow of fluid and cause additional losses to the system due to flow separation and mixing. (Cengel, Cimbala, 2014) The loss coefficient for these head losses is K L. The loss coefficient is found by the pressure loss divided by the dynamic pressure. The pressure drop for the minor losses can be found by using equation 1 (Cengel, Cimbala, 2014). h f = K V2 (1) 2g The loss is almost negligible for well-rounded inlets while, for sharp-edged piping, the loss increases significantly. This is because fluids cannot make sharp-edged turns very well which causes about half of the velocity head to be lost. The fluids flowing off of the sharp edges are constricted into the vena contracta area. This is where velocity increases then decreases across the pipe. The loss when using gradual expansion of pipes compared to using sudden expansion is minimal. Minor losses in pipes can turn into major losses in pipes, such as leaving a valve half way closed. The friction formed in the pipes can be found by using the Colebrook equation (Cengel, Cimbala, 2014) and solving for the friction factor, f. ε 1 = 2.0 log ( D ) (2) f 3.7 Re f When a fluid is a fully developed turbulent flow, the friction factor depends on the Reynolds number and the relative roughness. The Reynolds number determines if a flow is laminar, turbulent, or transient. The relative roughness is the ratio of the mean height of roughness of the pipe to the pipe diameter. When solving for the friction factor using the Colebrook equation, it must be solved iteratively. An approximate equation was formed by S. E. Haaland (Haaland 1983) as ε log[6.9 + ( D f Re 3.7 )1.11 ] (3) The results receive from this equation were within 2 percent of the results from the Colebrook equation. (BOOK reference) Another way to obtain the friction factor is to use the Moody chart. It uses the relationship of Reynolds number and the relative roughness to find the friction factor. The friction factor is used for finding major losses in piping systems. The Hazen-Williams equation is used by many engineers in order to accurately estimate the friction factor because it is much easier to calculate. However, it has limitations especially in irrigation systems. This equation requires constant temperature which irrigation systems cannot use accurately. (Allen, 1996) This shows that there are many ways to calculate the friction factor. Objective: The objective of this experiment was to measure the major and minor losses in piping systems due to the friction factor and the fitting type of the pipes.
3 Methods and Materials: In order to measure the major and minor loses, a technovate fluid circuit was used to measure major losses and an Edibon Energy Losses in Bends Modules FME05 was used to measure minor losses. For the major losses, the pressure drop due to the pipe and the orifice. The pressure drop from the pipe was measured from a smaller pipe (0.625 inches) and a larger pipe (1.25 inches). For both pipes, the flow rate was changed in 6 increments by valve 52 which controlled the flow rate through the system. The pressure drop for each increment was recorded for the loss due to the pipe and the loss due to the orifice. The volumetric flow rate for each pipe was calculated by using the pressure drop across the orifice. The pressure drop across the orifice was used to calculate the friction factor. The theoretical friction factor values were calculated using the Colebrook equations. For the minor losses, the fittings included a long elbow, a sudden enlargement from 20 mm to 40 mm, a sudden contraction from 40 mm to 20 mm, a medium elbow, a short angle, and a right angle fitting. The valves controlled the flow rate of the water let into the system. Seven increments of data were recorded for this system. Each pipe fitting had two tubes showing the height of the fluid. The flow rate was changed until the last tube (tap 12) measured to about 0 inches of water. The volumetric flow rate was found by letting water into the reservoir for one minute after each increment and measuring the height of the amount of water in the reservoir. The pressure drop and the velocity was calculated and plotted against each other. K L was estimated using the trendline in excel. The theoretical values were calculated and used in a table to compare those results to the experimental values. Results and Discussion: The major and minor losses of pipes are computed for the technovate fluid circuit system and an Edibon Energy Losses in Bends Module FME05. For the major losses, the volumetric flow rate was computed by using the equation Q = AC d 2 P ρ(1 β 4 ) (4) The velocity of the fluid was computed by Q/A. The experimental friction factor was computed by V 2 h L = f L (5) D 2g The theoretical values were for the friction factor were calculated by the Colebrook equation. The experimental and theoretical friction factors versus velocity squared were plotted for the large pipe and the small pipe. The large pipe graph (Figure 1) shows the values computed for the theoretical and experimental friction factor values. For the large diameter piping, the percent errors (Table 1) between the two values were small. This is compared to Figure 2,
4 Friction Factor (f) which is the small diameter piping system. This graph shows that there was a large difference in the theoretical values and the experimental values (Table 2). The large percent errors for this pipe does not show that the experimental data was wrong, but shows that the calculated values of the friction factor do not take into effect of all of the losses coming from the pipe. The experimental values are much more accurate than the theoretical for real life applications. From the data that was taken, it shows that the friction increased when the data was taken from the small pipe compared to the large pipe. The data also shows that the friction factor decreased as the velocity increased. This shows that there is less friction in the pipes as the velocity increases. When comparing the theoretical and experimental values for the large and small pipes, it shows that they theoretical data is much more accurate with a larger pipe than with a smaller pipe Theoretical Experimental Velocity Squared (m^2/s^2) Figure 1.

Percent errors of the large pipe for each flow rate reading Readings % Error Table 2. Percent errors of the small pipe for each flow rate reading Readings % Error For the minor losses, the module had 6 different fittings being tested in order to estimate the K values for each fitting. The pressure drop across each fitting was found by subtracting the differences in height of the two tubes. The velocity was found by using the total volume of the reservoir for each reading and the area of the pipe. The area of the pipe was m^2. This area was used constantly across the pipe because even for the expansion and contraction, the smallest volume was used because it causes the greatest velocity. The pressure drop for each fitting versus the velocity squared was graphed on Figure 3. This graph shows that the pressure drop increased as the velocity increased for each fitting. The lowest pressure drop across a fitting was for the enlargement fitting while the largest pressure drop was across the right angle. The pressure drop for the elbows was increasing order from the long elbow, medium elbow, and short elbow. This could be because the pressure had more time to
6 Pressure Drop (m) adjust to the fitting change with the long elbow compared to the short elbow. The experimental K values for each fitting were calculated by using the respective slopes of each fitting. The slope was multiplied by 2 times gravity from the equation h f = K V2 (6) 2g These experimental K values were found to compare these values to theoretical values on Table 3. The contraction and enlargement fittings had the highest percent error with values of 88.84% and 70.10% respectively. This could be because the experimental values do not take into account the change of area over the fittings. For the elbow fittings, the percent error decreased in the order of long elbow, medium elbow, and short elbow. This could be because of the decreasing distance the fluid went through. The right angle had the least amount of percent error. This shows that the theoretical values were close to the experimental values. The highest K value was for the right angle for both the theoretical and experimental values. This shows that it will have the highest head loss of the fittings. According to the experimental data, the contraction then, short elbow, medium elbow, long elbow, and then enlargement fittings had the highest to lowest K values. While, according to the theoretical data, the short elbow, enlargement, medium elbow, contraction, and the long elbow fittings had the highest to lowest K values. This difference is because the theoretical data does not take into account everything about the pipe and the fitting, making the experimental data more accurate to use. The K value is directly proportional to the pressure drop Long Elbow Enlargement Contraction Medium Elbow Short Elbow Right Angle y = x y = x y = x y = x y = x y = 0.009x Velocity Squared (m^2/s^2) Figure 3.

For the major losses, the flow was pushed through a long pipe; one with a large diameter and one with a small diameter. For these, the fraction factor was plotted against the velocity squared of the fluid. The graph showed that for the large pipe, the theoretical and experimental friction factor values were close. This shows that the calculated values are close to the actual friction factor values of the large diameter pipe. For the small diameter pipe, the percent error was around 98% for each flow reading. This shows that the calculated values are not close to the actual experimental values. The theoretical values do not take everything into account when calculating the value. This causes a high percent error of the small pipe. For the minor losses, the pipe had 6 different fittings that have different losses based on the type of fitting. A graph that compared pressure drop for each fitting versus the velocity squared was made for the minor losses. The graph shows that the pressure drop increased as the velocity increased. The highest pressure drop came from a right angle fitting, while the lowest pressure drop came from an enlargement fitting. The K values were found by the slope of each fitting on the graph. These experimental values were compared to theoretical values. The highest percent error came from a contraction fitting and the lowest percent error came from the right angle fitting. The differences in the fittings came from the theoretical values not taking everything about the pipe into effect. The experimental K value was found to be directly proportional to the pressure drop. This relates the loss coefficient (K) to the head loss of the system. References: R. G. Allen (1996).
