OBJECTIVE:
o determine the relationship between fluid friction coefficient and 'eynolds number for floe of water through a different type of pipe. o determine the head loss for a fitting
THEORY
pressures of the fluid at location 1 and 2 along the pipeline. )ead loss is generally computed from the %arcy- *eisbach e+uation,
hf = f L V2 D 2g
-1. $ther symbols appearing in the above relations have the following meaning, / and % 0 length and diameter of the pipe! 1 0 average velocity over the cross-section! g 0 acceleration due to gravity!
0 kinematic viscosity.
:se of E+. -1. re+uires knowledge of the functional dependence between the friction coefficient! relative roughness and 'eynolds number! or the specific functional form for E+. -2.. )owever! this function can be determined analytically only in the case of laminar flow! i.e.!
