Local Head Losses • Local head losses are the “loss” of energy at point where the pipe changes dimension (and/or direction). • Pipe Expansion • Pipe Contraction • Entry to a pipe from a reservoir • Exit from a pipe to a reservoir • Valve (may change with time) • Orifice plate • Tight bends • They are “velocity head losses” and are represented by
Value of kL • For junctions and bends we need experimental measurements • kL may be calculated analytically for • Expansion • Contraction • By considering continuity and momentumexchangeandBernoulli
Losses at an Expansion • As the velocity reduces (continuity) • Then the pressure must increase (Bernoulli) • So turbulence is induced and head losses occur Turbulence and losses
Value of kL for Expansion • Apply the momentum equation from 1 to 2 1 2 • Using the continuity equation we can eliminate Q • From Bernoulli
Value of kL for Expansion • Combine and - Borda-Carnot Equation • Using the continuity equation again
Losses at Contraction • Flow converges as the pipe contracts • Convergence is narrower than the pipe • Due to vena contractor • Experiments show for common pipes • Can ignore losses between 1 and 1’ • As Convergent flow is very stable
Losses at Contraction • Apply the general local head loss equation between 1’ and 2 • And Continuity The value of k depends on In general

Reservoir Feeding Pipe Example • Apply Bernoulli with head losses pA=pC = Atmospheric uA = negligible
Find pressure at B: Apply Bernoulli A-B pA= Atmospheric u = uB = 2.41 m/s Negative i.e. less than Atmospheric pressure
Pipes in series • Consider the situation when the pipes joining two reservoirs are connected in series 1 2 • Total loss of head for the system is given as A1U1=A2U2=AnUn=Q Q1=Q2=Qn=Q
Pipes in Series Example • Two reservoirs, height difference 9 m, joined by a pipe that changes diameter. For, 15m d=0.2 m then for 45 m, d=0.25 m. f = 0.01 for both lengths. • Use kL,entry= 0.5, kL,exit = 1.0. Treat the joining of the pipes as a sudden expansion. • Find the flow between the reservoirs.
Pipes in parallel • The head loss across the pipes is equal • Diameter, f, length L,Q, andu may differ • Total flow is sum in each pipe
Knowing the loss of head, the discharges in each pipe can be obtained • The values of U1, U2 and U3 may be obtained from the above equations and hence the discharges Q1, Q2 and Q3 obtained.
The discharge Q is given, the distribution of discharge in different branches is required • The discharges Q1, Q2, Q3 can be expressed in terms of H Where
Similarly Therefore: As the discharge is known and K1,K2 and K3 are constants, the value of H is obtained and the discharge in individual pipes obtained
Pipes in Parallel Example • Two pipes connect two reservoirs which have a height difference of 10 m. Pipe 1 has diameter 50 mm and length 100 m. Pipe 2 has diameter 100 mm and length 100 m. Both have entry loss kL,entry = 0.5 and exit loss kL,exit =1.0 and Darcy f of 0.008. • Find Q in each pipe • Diameter D of a pipe 100 m long and same f that could replace the two pipes and provide the same flow.
Flow required in new pipe = • Replace u using continuity Must solve iteratively
Must solve iteratively for D • Get approximate answer by leaving the 2nd term • Increase deqa little, say to 0.106 • … a little more … to 0.107 So
Flow through a by-pass • A by-pass is a small diameter pipe connected in parallel to the main pipe Meter By-pass Main pipe The ratio of q in the by-pass, to the total discharge is known as theby-pass coefficient. by-pass coefficient
Head loss in main pipe = head loss in by-pass Minor losses in the by-pass due to bend and the meter etc Divide by Implies
Using continuity equation Adding one on both sides
By-pass coefficient • Knowing the by-pass coefficient, the total discharge in the main pipe can be determined
