As a reminder, the Reynolds number is discussed in Chapter 9. Dimensionless Number.
When discussing the flow of a fluid through a piping system, we say that friction occurs between the fluid and the pipe wall due to viscous drag. The loss of energy due to the friction against the pipe wall is described by the friction factor. The Darcy friction factor (f) was developed by Henry Darcy (1803–1858), a French scientist who made several important contributions to the field of hydraulics. The friction factor depends on several other factors, including flow regime, Reynolds number, and pipe roughness. The friction factor can be determined in several ways, including from the Moody diagram (show below).
Olive oil having a specific gravity of 0.914 and viscosity of 100.8 centipoise is draining by gravity from the bottom of a tank. The drain line from the tank is a 4-diameter pipe made of commercial steel (pipe roughness, ε=0.045 millimeters). The velocity is 11 meters per second. Determine the friction factor for this system, using the following process.
Step 1: Determine the Reynolds number:
Step 2: Determine flow regima.
- If the flow is laminar (Re £ 2000), continue with step 3.
- If the flow is turbulent or transitional (Re > 2000), continue with step 3.
Step 3: Determine the relative roughness ratio: (ε/D).
Step 4: Determine the Darcy friction factor (f) from the diagram.

The two pressure lines from the probe were connected to a U-tube manometer which uses a liquid of specific gravity 1.7. The maximum velocity expected in the water tunnel was 2.3 m/s. Your job was to select an appropriate U-tube from a manufacturer which supplies manometers of different heights. The cost increases significantly with manometer height. Which of these should you purchase?arrow_forwardThe characteristics of a centrifugal pump operating at 1000 rpm is given by H=45-21002. The system characteristics may be represented by H = 28+3200². The units for volume flow rate Q and head H are m³/s and m, respectively. Assume the validity of the pump similarity laws. When one pump operating at 2000 rpm is used, with the system characteristics remaining unchanged, the operating volume flow rate is m³/s.arrow_forward

It has a turbine efficiency of 95% and compressor efficiency of 85%. The following parameters are provided: P1 = 550 kPa, T1 = 25 deg C, rp = 5.5, T3 = 1450 deg C, Wnet = 5500 kW.

Consider Ethane as your working fluid.arrow_forwardA series of experiments were carried out to obtain the characteristics of a centrifugal pump at a given speed. In the experiments, the pump head (H) against different flow (Q) values were obtained as follows. Obtain a second-order polynomial equation for this centrifugal pump that gives the variation of head with flow.arrow_forwardTwo pump impellers with different diameters run at two different speeds under kinematically similar conditions using water. Assume that the pump similarity rules are valid. The first pump impeller has a diameter of 0.1 m, a rotational speed of 1300 rpm and pump head is 6 m. The second pump impeller has a diameter of 0.3 m and a rotational speed of 2400 rpm. The pump head for the second pump impeller is m.arrow_forward
