Consider Steady flow
Incompressible flow
Momentum at section 1-1
= 𝜌1 𝑄 𝑣𝑥1
Momentum at section 2-2
= 𝜌2 𝑄 𝑣𝑥2
Change of momentum
= (𝜌2 𝑄 𝑣𝑥2) – (𝜌1 𝑄 𝑣𝑥1)
For incompressible flow
𝜌1 =𝜌2
Change of momentum = 𝜌 𝑄 (𝑣𝑥2- 𝑣𝑥1)
MOMENTUM EQUATION:
• By impulse momentum principle…F = 𝜌 𝑄 (𝑣𝑥2- 𝑣𝑥1)
9Module-5 Flow Through Pipes Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot
Now, components of velocity
𝑣𝑥1 = 𝑣1 cosθ1 , 𝑣𝑥2 = 𝑣2 cosθ2
𝑣𝑦1 = 𝑣1 sinθ1 , 𝑣𝑦2 = 𝑣2 sinθ2
Component of force along x-axisand y-axis
Fx= ρ Q (𝑣2 cosθ2 - 𝑣1 cosθ1 )
Fy= ρ Q (𝑣2 sinθ2 - 𝑣1 sinθ1 )
Above equations represent the forceexerted by the pipe bend on fluidmass.
Same but opposite force applied byfluid on pipe bend so equation is
Fx= ρ Q (𝑣1 cosθ1 - 𝑣2 cosθ2 )
Fy= ρ Q (𝑣1 sinθ1 - 𝑣2 sinθ2 )
MOMENTUM EQUATION:
The resultant force exerted by the fluid is
F = 𝐹𝑥2 + 𝐹𝑦2
The direction of resultant force is
Θ = tan-1 (FyFx

LOSS OF ENERGY IN PIPE:
11Module-5 Flow Through Pipes Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot
Consider uniform horizontal pipe with steady flow.
Let 1-1 and 2-2 are two section of pipe.
Let,
P1 = pressure intensity at section 1-1
v1 = velocity of flow at section 1-1
L = length of pipe between sections
d = diameter of the pipe
f’ = frictional resistance per unit wetted are per unit velocity
hf = loss of head due to friction

12Module-5 Flow Through Pipes Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot
Applying Bernoulli’s equation at section 1-1 and 2-2
p1/ρg + v12/2g + Z1 = p2/ρg + v2
2/2g + Z2 + hf
But pipe is horizontal and diameter same at both the section
so Z1 = Z2 and v1 = v2
p1/ρg = p2/ρg + hf
Therefore,
p1/ρg - p2/ρg = hf or (p1 - p2) = ρ g hf

Now,
Frictional resistance = frictional resistance per unit wetted area per unit velocity * wetted area * (velocity)2

The force acting on the fluid between the sections1. Pressure force at section 1-1 = p1 * A2. Pressure force at section 2-2 = p2 * A3. Frictional force as shown in the figure = F1
Resolving all the forces in horizontal direction, we have
p1 * A - p2 * A - F1 = 0, or ( p1 - p2 ) * A = F1
Putting F1 = f’ * P * L * v2 and (p1 - p2) = ρ g hf
14Module-5 Flow Through Pipes Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot
Rewriting the equation
ρ g hf A = f’ * P * L * v2
hf = f’ * P * L * v2 / A * ρ g
Now, P/A = wetted perimeter / area = 4/d

So,
hf = f’ * 4 * L * v2 / d * ρ g
hf = 4 ∗f’ ∗ L ∗ v2

Putting f’/ ρ = f/2 , where f is co-efficient of friction.
hf = 4 ∗f ∗ L ∗ v2
2 g d
15Module-5 Flow Through Pipes Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot
Co-efficient of friction is given by
f = 16/Re for laminar flow
f = 0.0791/(Re)1/4 for turbulent flow (Re≥4000 but ≤105)
f = 0.0008 + 0.5525/0.257 * Re (Re ≥ 105 but ≤ 107)
Some times equation can be written as
f is called friction factor (f = 4f), which is dimensionless quantity.
Darcy-Weisback equation for head loss due to friction:
hf = f ∗ L ∗ v2

Flow separation is takes place due to suddenchange in diameter of pipe, it results inturbulent eddies formation as shown in figure.
The loss of head takes place due to eddiesformation.
Let,
P1 = pressure intensity at section 1-1
v1 = velocity of flow at section 1-1
A1 = area of pipe at section 1-1
P2 , v2 , A2 corresponding value at section 2-2
P’ = pressure intensity of liquid eddies on the area(A2 – A1 )
he = loss of head due to sudden enlargement
1. Loss of head due to sudden enlargement:
P1 A1 P2 A2
20Module-5 Flow Through Pipes Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot
Applying Bernoulli’s equation to section 1-1 and2-2
p1/ρg + v12/2g + Z1 = p2/ρg + v2
2/2g + Z2 + he
Pipe is horizontal so Z1 = Z2 rewriting the equ.
p1/ρg + v12/2g = p2/ρg + v2
2/2g + he
he = (p1/ρg - p2/ρg) + (v12/2g - v2
2/2g )

Consider the control volume of liquid between sections 1-1 and 2-2. Force acting on the liquid in the direction of flow is given by,Fx = p1A1 +p’(A2 – A1) – p2A2
Experimentally it is found that p’ = p1
So equation becomes…Fx = p1A1 +p1(A2 – A1) – p2A2
21Module-5 Flow Through Pipes Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot
1. Loss of head due to sudden enlargement:
P1 A1 P2 A2
Equation is simplified in the form of ….Fx = p1A2 – p2A2
= (p1– p2) A2
Momentum of liquid at section 1-1 = mass * velocity
= 𝜌1 𝐴1 𝑣1 * 𝑣1= 𝜌1 𝐴1 𝑣1
2
Similarly momentum at section 2-2 = 𝜌2 𝐴2 𝑣22
∴ Change of momentum = (𝜌2 𝐴2 𝑣22 - 𝜌1 𝐴1 𝑣1
2 )
From continuity equation 𝑨𝟏 𝒗𝟏 = 𝑨𝟐 𝒗𝟐So 𝑨𝟏 = 𝑨𝟐 𝒗𝟐 / 𝒗𝟏
Change of momentum = (𝜌2 𝐴2 𝑣22 - 𝜌1 𝐴1 𝑣1
2 )
= 𝜌2 𝐴2 𝑣22 - 𝜌1 𝐴2 𝑣1𝑣2
22Module-5 Flow Through Pipes Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot
1. Loss of head due to sudden enlargement:
P1 A1 P2 A2
Change of momentum = 𝜌2 𝐴2 𝑣22 - 𝜌1 𝐴2 𝑣1𝑣2
= 𝜌2 𝐴2 (𝑣22 - 𝑣1𝑣2 )
Now net force acting on the fluid is equal to change of momentum,
Fx = 𝜌2 𝐴2 (𝑣22 - 𝑣1𝑣2 )
(p1– p2) A2 = 𝜌2 𝐴2 (𝑣22 - 𝑣1𝑣2 )
∴ (p1– p2)/ 𝜌2 = (𝑣22 - 𝑣1𝑣2 )
Fluid is incompressible so (𝜌2 = 𝜌1 = 𝜌 )∴ (p1– p2)/ 𝜌 = (𝑣2
2 - 𝑣1𝑣2 )
Dividing both the sides with g,
(p1– p2)/ 𝜌 g = (𝑣22 - 𝑣1𝑣2 )/g
Remember……he = (p1/ρg - p2/ρg) + (v1
2/2g - v22/2g )
he = (𝑣22 - 𝑣1𝑣2 )/g + (v1
2/2g - v22/2g )
23Module-5 Flow Through Pipes Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot

he = (𝑣22 - 𝑣1𝑣2 )/g + (v1

To analyze the pipe problem the concept of HEL or TEL is very useful.
Both are graphical representation of the longitudinal variation in the total head at salient points of pipe line.
Total head as per Bernoulli’s equation given by
p/𝛾 + v2/2g + Z = Constant
p/𝛾 = Pressure Head
v2/2g = Velocity Head
Z = Potential Head
HYDRAULIC GRADIENT AND TOTAL ENERGY LINE:

Line representing the sum of pressurehead, datum head and velocity head withrespect to some reference line is calledtotal energy line (TEL).
It is represented by line connecting thevalues of the total head at successivepoints along a piping system.
For ideal fluid as there are no losses, totalenergy line would remain parallel to thedatum.

HGL is always vertically below TEL by andequal amount to the velocity head (v2/2g).
