Bernoulli equation exercise from Fanning and Moody

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around solving a Bernoulli equation exercise from the Fanning and Moody textbook, focusing on fluid dynamics calculations. Key parameters include a pipe length (L) of 55 mm, a diameter (D) of 100 mm, and a roughness (k) of 0.0002 m. The Reynolds number (Re) was initially miscalculated but corrected to 530,000, indicating turbulent flow. The Fanning friction factor (f) was determined to be 0.006 using the Moody chart, and the loss coefficient (K) was calculated to be 4.36, leading to a pressure loss (Δhloss) of 8.98 m.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Bernoulli's equation and its applications in fluid dynamics
  • Familiarity with the Moody chart for determining friction factors
  • Knowledge of Reynolds number calculation and its significance in flow characterization
  • Basic concepts of fluid properties, including kinematic viscosity and flow rate
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation and applications of Bernoulli's equation in various fluid systems
  • Learn how to accurately calculate Reynolds number using both dynamic and kinematic viscosity
  • Explore advanced friction factor correlations beyond the Moody chart for different flow conditions
  • Investigate the impact of pipe roughness on flow characteristics and pressure loss
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mechanical engineering, particularly those specializing in fluid mechanics, as well as anyone involved in hydraulic system design and analysis.

Homework Statement


I would really appreciate it if you could give me a hand with this exercise, not sure on what I've done.

L=55*10-3m
D=10-1m
k=0.0002m

Homework Equations


##Re=\frac{D*u*ρ} {μ}##
##Re=\frac{4*m} {pi*D*μ}##
Relative roughness ##ξ=\frac k D## where k=rougness and D=diameter
f=fanning friction factor from Moddy chart as ξ ∩ Re
K=loss coefficient =##\frac{f*4L} {D}+∑Ki##
where Ki=other losses
##Δhloss=\frac{K*u^2} {2g}##
Bernoulli:##\frac {P1} {ρg} ##+h1 +##\frac {u1^2} {2g} ## = ##\frac {P2} {ρg} ##+h2 +##\frac {u2^2} {2g} +Δhloss##

The Attempt at a Solution


i)Re=?
Q=0.05m^3/s
μ=1.2*10-6m2/s

##Re=\frac{4*m} {pi*D*μ}##
where m=ρ*Q
m=103*0.05
m=50 Kg/s
=>##Re=\frac{4*50} {pi*10^-1*1.2*10^-6}##
=>Re=530516477 turbulent flow

ii)f=?fanning friction
##ξ=\frac k D## =##ξ=\frac {0.0002} {10^-1}##
ξ=2*10-3
=> f=0.006 from ξ∩Re on Moody Chart

iii)Assumptions
A: hA=7m PA=? uA=0
B hB=0m(datum) PB=0(atomospheric) uB=0;

:##\frac {P1} {ρg} ##+h1 +##\frac {u1^2} {2g} ## = ##\frac {P2} {ρg} ##+h2 +##\frac {u2^2} {2g} +Δhloss##

Pluggin in the assumptions this means:
##Δhloss=\frac {PA} {ρg} +hA##
=>##PA=(Δhloss-hA)*ρg##
Δhloss=K*u2/2*g
K=##\frac{f*4L} {D}+∑Ki##=##\frac{0.006*4*55*10^-3} {10^-1}+0.5+3*0.8+2*0.25+0.95##

##K=4.36##

Q=0.05 m^3/s=>##u=\frac {Q} {A}## ##u=\frac {0.05} {pi*(10^-1)^2/4}##
u=6.36m/s

##Δhloss=\frac {K*u^2} {2g}##=##Δhloss=\frac {4.36*6.36^2} {2*9.81}##

Δhloss=8.98m

##PA=(Δhloss-hA)*ρg##

##PA=(8.98-7)*10^3*9.81##

=>PA=19423.8 Pa

The Reynolds number is calculated incorrectly. You are given the kinematic viscosity, not the dynamic viscosity.

##Re=\frac{D*u} {∂}##
where D=diameter u=velocity ∂=kinematic viscosity
u=Q/A=6.36m/s

##Re=\frac{10^{-1}*6.36} {1.2*10^{-6}}##

Re=530000=>Re=5.3*105

##ξ=\frac{k} {D}=2*10^{-3}##=0.002

ξ∩Re=>f=0.006 from Moody Chart

This is better. I haven't checked the rest of the analysis.

Thank you for your reply.
I would really appreciate it , if you can and have time , if you could check the rest of the exercise, as I am not sure if it is correct.
In both cases the f=0.006
