P6.160

• GIVEN: The butterfly valve losses in Fig. 6.19b may be viewed as a Bernoulli obstruction device, as in Fig. 6.39.

• FIND: First fit the Kmean versus the opening angle in Fig6.19b to an exponential curve. Then use your curve fit to compute the “discharge coefficient” of a butterfly valve as a function of the opening angle. Plot the results and compare them to those for a typical flowmeter.

ASSUMPTIONS

• The velocity through the valve is different than the velocity in the entire pipe due to the small silver opening in the valve.

• Steady

• Incompressible

• Frictionless

• Continuous

The problem states using Eq. 104 may be helpful.

Q VtAt (6.104)

Where At is the area of the silver in the valve. This area is Found to be (1-cos())

The continuity equation gives us:

Q = ApVp = AtVt

Page 8: BUTTERFLY VALVE LOSSES

The minor losses in valves can be measured by finding “the ratio of the head-loss through the device to the velocity head of the associated piping system.”

The problem states that using the Velocity through the valve will give a better K value. So multiplying the original K by a value of (Vpipe/Vvalve

)2 which is a mathematical “1” gives a new equation for K.

The calculated values of the K of three different manufactures from the original K values form Fig. 6.19b.

Finding the curve fit lines of the original K values and plug in it in to the Koptimal equation. These curve fit equations are:

K1 = 1101.9e-0.0978 (1-cos())2

K2 = 1658.3e-0.1047 (1-cos())2

K3 = 1273.3e-0.1919 (1-cos())2

Biomedical ApplicationPatients who suffer from valvular diseases in the heart may require replacing the non-functioning valve with an artificial heart valve. These valves keep the large one-dimensional flow going. Fluid mechanics plays a large role in designing these valve replacements, which require minimal pressure drops, minimize turbulence, reduce stresses, and not create flow separations in the vicinity of the valve.
