1 ME-EM 30 ENERGY LABORATORY Air Flow Measurements Pitot Static Tube A slender tube aligned with the flow can measure local velocity by means of pressure differences. It has sidewall holes to measure the static pressure p s in the moving stream and a hole in the front to measure the stagnation pressure p o, where the stream is decelerated to zero velocity. The pitot static tube may also be of the modified ellipsoidal-nose type. The tube has a very small diameter compared to that of the duct diameter, but the resultant error caused by the additional blockage effect is considered minimal for this investigation. Instead of measuring p o and p s separately, it is customary to measure their difference with, say, a transducer, as in Figure 1. Fluid flow p s V p o p s p o p o p s p o Figure 1 Pitot Tube Configuration Pitot tubes are affected by Reynolds number at low fluid velocities. The minimum Reynolds number for total pressure measurements is approximately 30. This is the point where the characteristic length of the pitot tube is equal to the diameter of the impact hole. Below this value, the indicated impact pressure is higher than the stream impact pressure due to viscosity effects. For air at standard atmospheric conditions, the error due to low Reynolds number is only apparent for air velocities less than 1 ft./sec. (3.66 m/sec.). And this is for pitot tubes with impact hole diameters of inches (0.543 mm) or less. For low-velocity for example, U 1 ft./sec. in standard air, p 0 -p equal to only lb f /ft (0.048 Pa). This is beyond the resolution of most pressure gages. The accuracy of pitot tubes is also affected if the sensor head is not parallel to the fluid. The total and static pressure measurement error due to yaw and pitch angles increase rapidly above angles of 5 o. Fortunately, they cancel each other out so velocity pressure measurements are % accurate up to angles of attack of 30 o. 1
2 The measurements of static pressure is also sensitive to the presence of fluid boundaries. The presence of a pitot tube in a pipe also affects the static pressure. The pitot tube partially blocks the flow passage which increases the flow velocity in the vicinity of the device. This results in an indicated static pressure which is less than the actual static pressure. The speed of response of pitot tubes is also geometry dependent. The diameter of the air passage within the probe, the diameter and length of the interconnecting tubes, and the displacement volume of the manometer determines the time constant. For tubes diameters greater than 1/8 inches (3.175 mm) and ordinary manometer connections, the time constant is very short. However the time constant increases rapidly for smaller diameter tubes, with a response time of approximately 15 to 60 seconds for tubes having a 1/16 inches (1.59 mm) diameter. Because of the slow response of the fluid-filled tubes leading to the pressure sensors, it is not useful for unsteady-flow measurements. One common problem with pitot tubes that have very small diameters is that they tend to choke up easily if there is fine dirt in the fluid. The pitot static tube is useful in liquids and gases; for gases a compressibility correction is necessary if the stream Mach number is high. If Re D > 1000, where D is the probe diameter, the flow around the probe is nearly frictionless and Bernoulli s relation applies with good accuracy. or p p ( V ρ V 1 ) + gz ( z 1 ) 0 p ρ V 1 +gz 1 For an incompressible flow p Here ρ is the air density in kg/m 3 ; V ρ + gz const 1 p s --ρv ρgz s p ρ( 0) + ρgz 0 Assuming that the elevation pressure difference ρg( z s z 0 ) is negligible, this reduces to ( p V 0 p s ) th ρ ρ p s RT, [5] p s R T is the static pressure in Pascal, is the gas constant and the value is 87 m /(s.k), is the absolute temperature in Kelvin. The velocity measured by the pitot tube needs to be corrected due to geometry and flow interactions. It is done as follows [1] [] [3] [4] V αv th [6] where α f( Re D ), and the Reynolds number, ρvd Re D µ [7]

STEP : - plug in the α values and calculate V STEP 4: - Evaluate Re D STEP 5: - Look up your guess α values whether it matches with the calculated Re D or not STEP 6: - If the assumed α values is not in the calculated Re D range, repeat Steps 1-5. NOTE: Different sensors will require a calibration data generated for that particular case. If such information is not available use the table above as valid for the pitot tube you are using. Depending on the application you have, you may also be advised to delete velocity correction altogether, α 1. For channel flow where an average velocity is required, ( p 0 p s ) can also be determined by evaluating the effective pressure (or average) for the channel after multiple measurements as follows: j N eff --- N j j 1 where N is the number of measurements. [8] 3
4 Calculating the Flow Rate from the Velocity Profile The volumetric airflow rate can be directly determined from the velocity profile across the duct. Recall that a fluid of velocity u passing across an infinitesimal area da with outward unit normal vector nˆ. u n da Figure Velocity Profile Denoting the cross sectional area of the duct as A, the volume flow rate through any given cross section of the duct can be found from integration Q ( u nˆ ) da [9] A For a flow which is axisymmetric, the velocity is only a function of radial distance from the tube axis (centerline) as it is in the case of circular cross-section but it will have also have an azimuthal angle dependency otherwise. What follows is a discussion for a channel of circular cross-section area only. In this instance, u u( r) [10] and the infinitesimal area element da πrdr [11] where r is the radial distance from centerline, which varies from r0 to rr (the tube wall). The vector dotproduct can be simplified by recognizing the flow velocity is always perpendicular to the cross section of the tube. Thus ur ( ) nˆ ur ( ) [1] where u is the magnitude of the velocity. With these simplifications, the volumetric flow-rate in the circular tube is given by r R Q πu( r)rdr [13] r 0 Knowing the velocity profile u(r) then allows us to calculate the volumetric flow rate by integration. Since the data set is usually limited to a finite number of values u(r), we cannot perform the exact analytic integral. We can, however, use a numerical estimate to approximately evaluate the flow rate. This numerical estimate is best understood by recognizing that integration is the process of calculating the area underneath a curve. The curve in Figure 3 represents the true function u(r), for which the discrete values u 1 ur ( 1 ), u ur ( ), etc. are available. We can approximate the integration by summing the areas represented by the shaded rectangles. In this case, the flow rate can be estimated from 4

6 Air Flow Measurements Bernoulli Obstruction Theory Consider the generalized flow obstruction shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 Velocity and Pressure Change through a Generalized Bernoulli Obstruction Meter The energy grade line (EGL) shows the height of the total Bernoulli constant p V h 0 z γ g The hydraulic grade line (HGL) shows V g where the height corresponding to elevation and pressure head [17] [18] 6
7 z p + -- γ that is, the EGL minus the velocity head. The HGL is the height to which liquid would rise in a piezometer tube attached to the flow. In an open-channel flow the HGL is identical to the free surface of the water. The flow in the basic duct of diameter D is forced through an obstruction of diameter d; the β is a key parameter of the device, β After leaving the obstruction, the flow may neck down even more through a vena contracta of diameter D < d, as shown. Apply the continuity and Bernoulli equations for incompressible steady frictionless flow to estimate the pressure change: Continuity: Q Bernoulli d --- D π --D V 4 1 D V 1 1 p 0 p ρv [] 1 p + --ρv Eliminating V 1, we solve these for V or Q in terms of the pressure change ( p 1 p ): Q ( p 1 p ) V [3] A ρ( 1 D D ) But this is surely inaccurate because we neglected friction in a duct flow, where we know friction will be very important. Nor do we want to get into the business of measuring vena contracta ratios D /d for use in Equation 3. We assume that D D β and then calibrate the device to fit the relation. 1 ( p 1 p ) Q A t V t C d A t [4] ρ( 1 β 4 ) where subscript t denotes the throat of the obstruction. The dimensionless discharge coefficient C d accounts for the discrepancies in the approximate analysis. By dimensional analysis for a given design we expect [19] [0] [1] C d f ( β, Re D ) [5] where ρv Re 1 D D µ The geometric factor involving β in Equation 4 is called the velocity-of-approach factor E ( 1 β 4 ) 1 [6] [7] One can also group C d and E in Equation 4 to form the dimensionless flow coefficient α α C d E C d ( 1 β 4 ) 1 [8] 7
8 Thus, ( p 1 p ) Q αa t ρ 1 Obviously the flow coefficient is correlated in the same manner: [9] α f ( β, Re D ) [30] Occasionally one uses the throat Reynolds number instead of the approach Reynolds number Re D ρv t d µ Re D β Since the design parameters are assumed known, the correlation of α or of C d is the desired solution to the fluid-metering problem. Figure 5 shows three basic devices recommended for use by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO): the orifice, nozzle, and venturi tube. [31] Figure 5 Orifice, Nozzle, and Venturi Tube Configurations 8
9 Thin-Plate Orifice. An orifice plate is nothing but a flat plate with a hole in it. Once placed in the duct, it restricts flow and causes an increase in velocity similar to a venturi. Directly behind the orifice plate an area of low pressure exists. By measuring the difference in pressure from this point to the-free flowing duct, the volumetric flow rate can be found using the following equation: Q αε πd m 3 s [3] 4 ρ u where α flow coefficient, ε expansibility factor, d diameter of orifice, m, pressure drop over orifice plate, Pa, ρ density upstream of the device (i.e. at atmospheric pressure) kg/m 3 u. The values of α for the orifice plates are as follows: 65 mm orifice: α mm orifice: α The value of ε for an inlet orifice is given by the following expression ε P u where P u pressure upstream of the device (atmospheric), Pa. Nozzle. The flow nozzle, with its smooth rounded entrance convergence, practically eliminates the vena contracta and gives discharge coefficients near unity. The volumetric flow rate is determined from the following expression; [33] Q αε πd m 3 s 4 ρ u The values of the dimensionless compound coefficient is given by the expression αε ( ) [34] [35] Nozzle Inlet Venturi Flow-Rate Measuring Device. A venturi is just a gradual constriction in the duct. Since the mass flow rate is constant, the velocity must increase as the area decreases. A change in static pressure occurs, and that change in pressure can be used to find the flow rate using the following formula and dimensions (same as the nozzle). Q αε πd V m 3 s [36] 4 ρ u The values of the dimensionless compound coefficient is given by the expression αε ( ) [37] 9

15 Bernoulli Equation Demonstrator Background Pressure Measurements In Moving Fluids Pressure measurements in moving fluids deserve special considerations. Consider the flow over the bluff body shown in Figure 1. Figure 6 Streamlines over a bluff body Assume that the upstream flow is uniform and steady. Points along the two streamlines labeled as A are to be studied. Along streamline A, the flow moves with a velocity, V 1, such as at point 1 upstream of the body. As the flow approaches point it must slow down and finally stop at the front end of the body. Point is known as the stagnation point and streamline A the stagnation streamline for this flow. Along streamline B, the velocity at point 3 will be V 3 and because the upstream flow is considered to be uniform it follows that V 1 V 3. As the flow along B approaches the body, it is deflected around the body. From conservation of mass principles, V 4 > V 3. Application of conservation of energy between points 1 and and between 3 and 4 yields p 1 + ( ρv 1 ) ( g) p + ( ρv ) ( g) p 3 + ( ρv 3 ) ( g) p 4 + ( ρv 4 ) ( g) [41] [4] However, because point is the stagnation point, V 0, and p p total p 0 p 1 + ( ρv 1 ) ( g) [43] Hence, it follows that p > p 1 by an amount equal to V g, an amount equivalent to the kinetic energy per unit mass of the flow as it moves along the streamline. If the flow is brought to rest in an isentropic manner (i.e., no energy lost through irreversible processes such as through a transfer of heat 1 ), 15
16 this translational kinetic energy will be transferred completely into p is known as the stagnation or total pressure and will be noted as p 0. The total pressure can be determined by bringing the flow to rest at a point in an isentropic manner. The flow at 1, 3, and 4 are known as the stream or static pressures of the flow. Because the flow is uniform, V 1 V 3, so that p 3 p 1. The static pressure and velocity at points 1 and 3 are known as the freestream pressure and freestream velocity. However, as the flow accelerates around the body its velocity increases such that, from Eq (1), p 4 p 3. The pressure, such as at point 4, is called a local static pressure. The static pressure is that pressure sensed by a fluid particle as it is moves with the same velocity as the local flow. Background Closely related to the steady-flow energy equation is relation between pressure, velocity, and elevation in a frictionless flow, now called the Bernoulli equation. The Bernoulli equation is very famous and very widely used, but one should be wary of its restrictions - all fluids are viscous and thus all flows have friction to some extent. to use the Bernoulli equation correctly, one must confine it to regions of the flow which are nearly frictionless. For an incompressible fluid, the Bernoulli equation is ( p p 1 ) ( V [44] ρ V 1 ) + gz ( z 1 ) 0 p 1 V p gz V [45] ρ gz ρ const p 1 V p z V [46] γ g z ρ g const p V where -- is the static pressure head; is the velocity pressure head; and z is the potential energy head. The total γ pressure head is equal to the gsum of the static and velocity pressure heads. This is the Bernoulli equation for steady frictionless incompressible flow along a streamline. A venturi tube can be used to demonstrate the Bernoulli equation as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3: Venturi AIR FLOW DIRECTION to It is readily apparent that the potential energy head is zero ( p γ V g p V const ρ g z 1 z, the Bernoulli equation reduces Using the conservation of mass, the mass flow rate at points 1 and must be the same, or [47] ρv 1 A 1 ρv A [48] 16
17 MEEM 30 ENERGY LABORATORY EXPERIMENT IV (HAMPDEN WINDTUNNEL) Objective To investigate the Bernoulli equation as it relates to pressure and velocity of a fluid along a streamline. Experimental Setups 3. Attached the venturi section with convergent and divergent sections oriented as shown in Figure 4. Make sure that the fastening screws are tightened to provide a tight seal. Figure 7 Schematic Diagram 4. Install a pitot-static probe into the probe positioner and one access hole in the duct. Align the probe head with the center line of the convergent-divergent section. 5. Connect the total and static pressure taps of the pitot-static tube to the appropriate manometers as shown in Figure 4. please note that the choice of which inclined manometer is used depends on the magnitude of the static pressure; and this changes along the length of the venturi tube. Two universal tee connectors are required. 17
