Reynolds Number
The transition from laminar to turbulent flow depends on
the geometry, surface roughness, flow velocity, surface
temperature, and type of fluid, among other things.
British engineer Osborne Reynolds (18421912)
discovered that the flow regime depends mainly on the
ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces in the fluid.
The ratio is called the Reynolds number and is
expressed for internal flow in a circular pipe as
12
Reynolds Number
At large Reynolds numbers, the inertial forces are large
relative to the viscous forces Turbulent Flow
At small or moderate Reynolds numbers, the viscous
forces are large enough to suppress these fluctuations
Laminar Flow
The Reynolds number at which the flow becomes
turbulent is called the critical Reynolds number, Recr.
The value of the critical Reynolds number is different for
different geometries and flow conditions. For example,
Recr = 2300 for internal flow in a circular pipe.

For a specified flow rate, the pressure drop and
thus the required pumping power is proportional
to the length of the pipe and the viscosity of the
fluid, but it is inversely proportional to the fourth
power of the diameter of the pipe.

For laminar flow, the friction factor decreases with increasing Reynolds
number, and it is independent of surface roughness.
The friction factor is a minimum for a smooth pipe and increases with
roughness. The Colebrook equation in this case ( = 0) reduces to the
Blasius formula:
Prandtl equation.
f 0.316 / Re1/ 4
At very large Reynolds numbers (to the right of the dashed line on the
Moody chart) the friction factor curves corresponding to specified
relative roughness curves are nearly horizontal, and thus the friction
factors are independent of the Reynolds number. The flow in that region
is called fully turbulent flow or just fully rough flow because the
thickness of the viscous sublayer decreases with increasing Reynolds
number, andit becomes so thin that it is negligibly small compared to
the surface roughness height.The Colebrook equation in the fully rough
zone reduces to the von Krmn equation.

Minor Losses
Piping systems include fittings, valves, bends, elbows,
tees, inlets, exits, enlargements, and contractions.
These components interrupt the smooth flow of fluid and
cause additional losses because of flow separation and
mixing.
The head loss introduced by a completely open valve
may be negligible. But a partially closed valve may cause
the largest head loss in the system which is evidenced
by the drop in the flow rate.
We introduce a relation for the minor losses associated
with these components as follows.
41
Minor Losses
42
Minor Losses
The minor loss occurs locally across the minor loss
component, but keep in mind that the component
influences the flow for several pipe diameters downstream.
This is the reason why most flow meter manufacturers
recommend installing their flow meter at least 10 to 20
pipe diameters downstream of any elbows or valves.
Minor losses are also expressed in terms of the
equivalent length Lequiv, defined as

Note that Re > 4000 for both pipes, and thus the
assumption of turbulent flow is verified.
Discussion The two parallel pipes are identical, except
the diameter of the first pipe is half the diameter of the
second one. But only 14 percent of the water flows
through the first pipe. This shows the strong dependence
of the flow rate (and the head loss) on diameter.
