1 Chapter 6: Fundamentals of Fluid Flow

2 Learning outcomes By the end of this chapter students should be able to: Understand the terms & concepts of velocity, average velocity and discharge. Understand the principle of conservation of mass and able to apply the continuity equation. Understand the principle of conservation of energy (Bernoulli s principle) and able to apply the energy equation. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW

3 Velocity & discharge Velocity: A parameter that tells how fast and in what direction the fluid flows. Unit : m/s Discharge: A parameter that tells the total quantity of fluid flowing in a unit time past any particular cross-section of a stream. Unit: m 3 /s UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 3

4 Velocity profiles UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 4

5 When fluid is in motion, velocity for each fluid particle will varies throughout the flow. However in most engineering problem, velocity variation over the cross-section can be ignored, the velocity being assumed to be constant and equal to the mean velocity v. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 5

6 True & average velocities Consider an annular area at radius, r, with thickness, dr, as shown in figure below. The elemental area through which the flow passes, da, can be given by the following expressions, da rdr UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 6

7 The fluid velocity, v, which passes through this area is fairly constant if dr is kept small. This velocity is the true velocity of the fluid at radius r from the centre of the pipe. The elemental discharge, dq, through this area is given by; dq vda v rdr UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 7

8 The total discharge Q can be obtained by integrating dq over the whole cross sectional area of the flow; Q R O vrdr The average or mean velocity can then be expressed as; v average Q A UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 8

9 Discharge Can be expressed as: Volume: Volume flowrate, unit : m 3/ s Mass :Mass flowrate, unit : kg/s Weight: Weight flowrate, unit : N/s Q M Q Av W gq UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 9

10 Example 6. Benzene flows through a 00 mm diameter pipe. The mean velocity of flow is 3 m/s. Find the volumetric rate, weight of flow rate and mass flow rate. Mass density of benzene is 879 kg/ m 3. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 0

11 Conservation of mass Matter is neither created nor destroyed. In steady flow, the mass of fluid in the control volume remains constant, therefore Mass of fluid entering per unit time = Mass of fluid leaving per unit time UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW

12 Applying this principle to steady flow in streamtube with constant cross-sectional area small enough for velocity to be considered constant, Mass of fluid entering per unit time at section = Mass of fluid leaving per unit time at section UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW

13 Massentering per unit time at A u M assleaving per unit time at Au For steady flow, A u Using mean velocity, Consider incompressible Or A u A u Q A Q A u u A u Q constant m fluid, is known as continuity equation UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 3

14 Continuity equation can also be applied to determine the relation between the flows into and out of a junction. Totalinflow to junction Q Q A v Totaloutflow from junction Q Q A v Q Q A v 3 3 ( incompressible fluid) UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 4

15 Example 6. Water is flowing in a 5 mm diameter pipe at a velocity of 0.6 m/s. What is the velocity of water coming out of the nozzle which is attached to the pipe? The nozzle has a diameter of 3 mm. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 5

16 Example 6.3 Water flows through a pipeline in which the diameter reduces from 500 mm at A to 300 mm at B as shown in Figure. The pipe then forks, one branch has a diameter of 50 mm discharging at C, while the other branch with diameter of 00 mm discharges at D. Given that the velocity at A is.0 m/s and the velocity at D is 3.6 m/s, find discharges at C and D and the velocities at B and C. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 6

17 Example 6.4 (Douglas, 006) Water flows from A to D and E through the series pipeline shown in Fig. Given the pipe diameters, velocities and flow rates below, complete the tabular data for this system. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 7

18 Energy equation To analyze flow problems, consider 3 forms of energy i.e. potential energy, kinetic energy & pressure energy. Consider an element of fluid as shown in the next figure. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 8

22 Energy equation Total Energy, H WE KE WE H p g v g z Where, p g pressurehead (m) v velocity head (m) g z potentialhead (m) UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW

23 Bernoulli s equation States, for a steady flow of frictionless fluid along a streamline, the total energy per unit weight remains constant from point to point although its division between the three forms of energy may vary. H p g v g z UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 3

24 Bernoulli s equation Assumptions: Velocity on the flow cross section is uniform, i.e. average velocity is used. Effect of viscous forces are very small compared to the gravitational forces, therefore there are no losses of energy due to friction Energy of flow is not converted into any other form apart from kinetic, potential and pressure energies. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 4

25 Bernoulli s equation between points H H p g v g z p g v g z UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 5

Assuming no energy losses, determine the pressure at B, which is 4.0 m above the level of A. A A A = 0.5 m v A =. 0 m/s p A = 0 kn/ m B A B = 0. m UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 9

31 Example 6.5 An elevated water tank as in figure is being drained to an underground storage through a 300 mm diameter pipe. The flow rate is 0. m 3 /s and the head loss is 3.0 m. If the underground pipe is located at.5 m below ground level, determine the water surface elevation in the tank. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 3

32 Example 6.7 (Douglas, 006) A fire engine pump develops a head of 50 m, i.e. it increases the energy per unit weight of water passing through it by 50 N m N -. The pump draws water from a sump at A through a 50 mm diameter pipe in which there is a loss of energy per unit weight due to friction h = 5u / g varying with the mean velocity u in the pipe, and discharges it through a 75 mm nozzle at C, 30 m above the pump, at the end of a 00 mm diameter delivery pipe in which there is a loss of energy per unit weight h = u / g. Calculate, a. The velocity of the jet issuing from the nozzle at C and b. The pressure in the suction pipe at the inlet to the pump at B. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW 3
