HYDRULIC RESISTNCE Local (Minor!) Pressure Losses TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!) Losses
Local Pressure Losses (Minor Losses!) lthough they often account for a major portion of the total pressure loss, the additional losses due to entries and exits, fittings and ales are traditionally referred to as minor losses! These losses represent additional energy dissipation in the flow, usually caused by secondary flows induced by curature or recirculation. The minor losses are any total pressure loss present in addition to the total pressure loss for the same length of straight pipe. TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!) Losses

Sudden Expansion Pressure Losses n abrupt expansion of a tube cross-sectional area gies rise to so-called shock losses.

Sudden Expansion Pressure Losses The jet formed due to sudden expansion, is separated from the remaining medium Forms a significant turbulence as shown by the ortices near the wall surfaces. It requires a pipe length (L ) of 8- hydraulic diameters (D h ) before relatiely uniform flow of elocity is established. TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!) Losses
Sudden Expansion in One Plane When an abrupt expansion of the tube cross section occurs only in one plane (as shown in the Figure) the shock losses decrease with an increase in the aspect ratio B/H. B is the width of larger cross section H is the constant height of the channel Loss coefficient is: exp k( ) Dependence of k on B/H Where k < is correction factor which depends on the aspect ratio B/H.

Vena Contracta Effect Flow passage through the contraction is accompanied by distortion of the trajectories of particles with the result that they continue their motion by inertia toward the axis of the opening. This reduces the initial area of the jet cross section at C-C until the area is smaller than the area of the cross section of the opening. Plane of ena contracta.

Resistance to Flow Changes of the Stream Direction Flow Losses in an Elbow Flanged Elbow Standard Threaded Elbow Miter Bend TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!) Losses 6
Change of Flow Direction In elbows the streamlines are cured and centrifugal force causes a pressure increase near the outer wall of the elbow. Starting at point pressure increases and rising to a maximum alue at B. In region B the fluid flow is opposed by an aderse pressure gradient. t the inside of the elbow, the pressure decreases to point C and then rises again in the exit section D. For this reason an aderse pressure B Higher gradient also exists from C to D at pressure region the inside wall. D These conditions may lead to a separation and turbulence and corresponding losses in flow energy. The magnitude of these losses to a large extend depend on the sharpness of the curature. C Lower pressure region TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!) Losses 7
Flow Losses In an Elbow The main portion of flow pressure losses in cured tubes is due to formation of eddies at the inner wall. Other conditions being equal, the cured tube offers the largest resistance in the case when the curature at the inner wall is a sharp corner. Rounding of the elbow corners makes the flow separation much smoother and consequently lowers the resistance. big majority of flow the flow losses can be recoered by rounding the inner corner and leaing the outer elbow sharp. Cross sectional area at the place of bending increases sharply (s shown in red x-section) Rounding the outer elbow corner and keeping the inner corner sharp does not reduce the elbow resistance. Large radius on the outer elbow will een increase flow losses since it would reduce the cross sectional area significantly (s shown in green x-sec) TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!)

Diffuser - Gradual Expansion gradual tapered transition from one diameter to another can reduce flow losses appreciably in comparison with abrupt transitions. In a conical diffuser the pressure rises in the direction of flow Increasing diameter reduces the elocity. Higher elocity, P P Jet inetic energy at cross section is conerted to potential energy at cross section Howeer the slower fluid particles near the diffuser wall tend to stagnate and disturb the theoretical (ideal) pressure rise. This causes an energy loss. Total energy at section is less than the total energy at section α kinetic energy P < P Base area is Higher static pressure, potential energy TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!) Losses 5
Pressure Losses in a Diffuser The resistance coefficients of the diffusers as well as the flow structure in them and the separation phenomenon depend on many parameters such as Diergence angle, alpha rea ratio The shape of the elocity profile at the entrance Degree of flow turbulence at the entrance Flow regime, at the entrance Flow compressibility The effect of the Reynolds number on the resistance coefficients of the diffusers is different for different diergence angles TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!) Losses 6
Effect of Diergence ngle In Gradual Expansion - Diffuser The total resistance coefficient of a diffuser expressed in terms of the elocity at small section becomes smaller up to certain limits of diergence angle, alpha. Increase in the cross sectional area of the diffuser causes a drop in aerage elocity. Static pressure gain due to this cross sectional area change is greater than the pressure loss due to flow turbulence up to certain limits of diergence angle, alpha If the cone angle is too large, separation of the flow from the wall also occurs and causes an additional energy loss. The most adantages cone angle is 8 o degrees In flow channels of rectangular cross section, separation occurs if cone angle alpha is greater than 0 o TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!)

Losses 8 < 45 > Base area is 45 α Rectilinear Conerging Nozzle
Gradual Contraction Conerging Nozzle In a conergent section flow losses are small since the pressure gradient is in the same direction as the flow. Particles of fluid near the wall are continually accelerated by this pressure gradient so that flow is maintained een in the close icinity of the wall. The resistance coefficient of a conerging nozzle with rectilinear boundaries at high Re numbers depends on: Conergence angle alpha rea ratio n o / < α Rectilinear Conerging Nozzle TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!) Losses 9
Flow Resistance of Conerging Rectilinear Nozzle t sufficiently large angles (alpha > 0 o ) and area ratios less than 0.3, the flow after passing from the contracting section of the rectilinear conerging nozzle to the straight part of the tube separates from the walls which is the main source of the flow losses. The larger the alpha and smaller the area ratio, stronger is the flow separation and greater the pressure losses Pressure losses are at maximum for the limiting case of 80 degree angle sudden contraction.

Resistance of Exit Sections When fluid flow leaes the piping system, the kinetic energy of the discharged jet is always lost. In the case of free discharge of the flow from a straight section of the tube of constant cross section into a large olume, the total losses are reduced only to the losses of the elocity pressure at the exit. TFD-FD06 Hydraulic Resistance Local (Minor!) Losses 3 p elocity ρ The coefficient N depends on the nature of the elocity distribution at the exit. In the case of uniform exit elocity distribution, it is equal to unity In the remaining cases where elocity distribution is non-uniform, it always larger than one.

Orifice Plate Flow passage through the opening is accompanied by the distortion of the trajectories of particles with the result that they continue their motion by inertia toward the axis of the opening. This reduces the initial area jet cross sectional area by a factor alpha. (Vena contracta effect) Thickening, beeling and rounding the orifice edges reduces the effect of jet contraction (reduced jet elocity downstream of orifice plate) and reduce pressure losses.

Hydraulic Resistance of Networks In flow networks, the portion of the total pressure which is spent in oercoming the forces of hydraulic resistance is irreersibly lost. The molecular and turbulent iscosity of the moing medium irreersibly conerts the mechanical work of the resistance forces into heat.
