FRICTION, DISCONTINUITY & OBSTRUCTION

Calculation of airway resistance and frictional losses
based on:
Shape and length of the airway or duct
Roughness of the surface
Flow regime (turbulent or laminar)
Quantity of air, gas or fluid in the airway or duct.

FRICTION, DISCONTINUITY & OBSTRUCTION

Friction loss:
pressure loss due to flow over rough surface
Discontinuity loss:
pressure loss when air flows through and around
discontinuities (e.g. bends).
Obstruction loss: Pressure loss due to objects

FRICTION, DISCONTINUITY & OBSTRUCTION

Viscosity
When a fluid begin to move, individual molecules or
layers start to move over each other in an approximately
linear fashion with retardation dependent on internal
cohesion between molecules.
As the velocity of the fluid increases, molecules or layers
move in increasingly random fashion as the magnitude of
inertial forces increase and the flow become turbulent.

FRICTION, DISCONTINUITY & OBSTRUCTION

The degree of turbulence in a moving fluid depends on:
viscosity
velocity
Less viscous fluids moving faster and more turbulent than
more viscous fluids moving slower.
Turbulence is associated with energy or pressure loss.

FRICTION, DISCONTINUITY & OBSTRUCTION

Turbulence is associated
with energy or pressure loss.
In laminar conditions
pressure loss is proportional
to velocity
In turbulent conditions
pressure loss is proportional
to velocity squared

FRICTION, DISCONTINUITY & OBSTRUCTION

The limits of laminar and turbulent flow can be
determined from the dimensionless Reynolds number
Reynolds number:
= density(kg/m3)
L = characteristic dimension e.g. diameter(m)
V = Velocity(m/s)
= viscosity (kg/ms)

FRICTION, DISCONTINUITY & OBSTRUCTION

The limits of laminar and turbulent flow can be
determined from the dimensionless Reynolds number
Generally, the upper limit of laminar flow is between
Reynolds number of 2,000 and 3,000.
in other words:
Turbulent flow starts between Re 2,000 to 3,000

Reynolds number:
L = characteristic dimension e.g. diameter(m)
In circular ducts or airways:
L = diameter
In non-circular ducts or airways
L = hydraulic diameter
A = Area
C = Circumference

Friction Loss on Rough Surface
As gas or liquids flow over rough surfaces, there is loss of
pressure due to the interaction of the boundary layer
with the surface.
This loss results in a reduction of static pressure, and in
airways of constant cross sectional area, an equal
reduction of total pressure.
In most applications, flow is assumed to be turbulent
The frictional pressure loss is proportional to the square of
velocity.

Friction Loss on Rough Surface
Frictional pressure loss represents a loss of energy to the
system
- it results in a loss of static pressure which is not reversible
- in turbulent regimes the loss is proportional to the
square of velocity

of the relationship between frictional pressure loss
occurring on rough surfaces and velocity.

k = roughness factor of the surface (Ns2/m4)

C = Circumference/perimeter (m)

Airway resistance (R)

K factors can be obtained

from text books but should be
checked by survey
K are range from 0.003 for
smooth ducts to 0.015 for
rough walls

terowongan tersebut adalah 1.17 kg/m3, berapakah
resistance (R) dari terowongan tersebut per 100 m
panjangnya?

THE END

INERTIA

a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a
straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.

Inertia is a word we use when we talk about matter and movement. Basically, our idea of
inertia goes back to Sir Isaac Newton's first two laws of physics:

1. An object at rest tends to stay at rest.

2. An object in motion tends to stay in motion.

Inertia is the quality in matter (matter is anything you can touch) that lets it stay still if it is still,
or keeps it moving if it is moving.

If you want to overcome inertia, you have to apply a force. A force will make something that
is still start to move, like flicking a wad of paper with a pencil will make it move. Also force,
due to resistance, will slow or stop something that is already moving. The wad of paper will
be slowed by resistance made by rubbing up against the air it is passing through.
