5 ENERGY EQUATION OF FLUID MOTION 5.1 Introduction In order to develop the equations that describe a flow, it is assumed that fluids are subject to certain fundamental laws of physics. The pertinent laws are: 1. Conservation of mass; 2. Conservation of energy; 3. Conservation of momentum. These principles were initially developed for the case of a solid body and the application of these laws to a solid body is relatively straightforward since the body will be of measurable size and mass. However, it is not for a flowing fluid. Therefore, the equations should be modified before it can be applied in a flowing fluid. 5.2 Continuity Equation The principle of conservation of mass can be applied to a flowing fluid. Considering any fixed region in the flow constituting a control volume,

Mass of fluid entering per unit time

=

Mass of fluid leaving per unit time

+

Increase of mass of fluid in the control volume per unit time

Control Volumemass of fluidentering

mass of fluid leaving

For steady flow, the mass of fluid in the control volume remains constant and the relation reduces to

Mass of fluid entering per unit time

= Mass of fluid leaving per unit time

Apply this principle to steady flow in a streamtube as shown below,

Area = d A1

Velocity = V1

Pressure = p1

Area = d A2

Velocity = V2

Pressure = p2

If there is no flow being evacuated from the stream tube except at the outlet section 2, then Q = V1A1 = V2A2 Q = V1A1 = V2A2 where V1, V2 are the mean velocities at sections 1 and 2 respectively. The continuity equation for liquids many be generally expressed in the form where V and A are velocity of flow and the cross-sectional area normal to the flow respectively at any section of the liquid stream. The continuity equation can also be applied to determine the relation between the flows into and out of a junction. For steady condition, Total inflow to junction = total outflow from junction

Q = V1A1 = V2A2

Worked example: 1. Water flows through a pipe AB of diameter d1 = 50 mm, which is in

series with a pipe BC of diameter d2 = 75 mm in which the mean velocity V2 = 2 m/s. At C the pipe forks and one branch CD is of diameter d3 such that the mean velocity V3 is 1.5 m/s. The other branch CE is of diameter d4 = 30 mm and conditions are such that the discharges Q2 from BC divides so that Q4 = ½ Q3. Calculate the values of Q1, V1, Q2, Q3, d3, Q4 and V4.

The subscript s is usually omitted and V is used to represent the velocity in the direction of fluid flow. The term p/ - pressure head z - potential head (elevation head) V2/2g - velocity head The constant at the right hand side of the equation is the total head (total energy per unit weight) of the flow field. The equation is applicable when the flow is steady, non-viscous, and incompressible with the constant density. Under these conditions the total head at any point along a streamline of the flow field is the same. Bernoulli’s equation is an expression of the principle of conservation of energy. In most applications, Bernoulli’s equation is applied at two points in the flow field with z1 and z2 are referred to the same datum.

5.4 Flow Measurement The three parameters most often involved in flow measurement are pressure, velocity and discharge of flow. The relationships between these parameters have already been defined through the Continuity and Bernoulli’s equation. In this section, the principles and applications of common flow measurement devices are discussed. 55..44..11 SSttaaggnnaattiioonn TTuubbee aanndd PPiittoott TTuubbee When an L shaped tube is placed in a flow field, it can be used to measure the velocity of flow.

(b)

Since the flow is brought to a standstill at the front end of the tube, this simple device is called a stagnation tube (fig. a). The velocity of flow measured by the stagnation tube is expressed as V = gh2 - Torricelli’s formula

where V = velocity of flow h = the level of fluid in the tube above the free surface. This expression can be derived by applying Bernoulli’s equation to the stagnation point and any other point upstream of it. For simplicity, choose a point (point A) at the same level as the stagnation point (point B, i.e. the velocity of fluid flow at this point is zero).

Putting zA - zB = H, VA = 0, VB = V and pA = pB, velocity of jet, V = gH2

Theoretically, if A is the cross-sectional area of the orifice, Discharge, Q = Area * Velocity = A gH2

In practice, the actual discharge is considerably less than the theoretical discharge and is modified by introducing a coefficient of discharge, Cd, so that Actual discharge, Qactual = Cd * Qtheoretical = CdA gH2


P.5-17

There are two reasons for this phenomenon. First, the velocity of the jet is less than that the theoretical velocity because there is a loss of energy between A and B: Actual velocity at B = Cv * V = Cv gH2

where Cv = coefficient of velocity 0.97 Second, the paths of the particles of the fluid converge on the orifice and the area of the issuing jet at B is less than the area of the orifice A at C. In the plane of the orifice, the particles have a component of velocity towards the centre and the pressure at C is greater than atmospheric pressure. The streamlines will converge at a short distance downstream of the orifice and the minimum flow area is called the vena contracta. This is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the orifice.

C Bv vB

vena contracta

Contraction of issuing jet

The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the vena contracta to that of the orifice is called the coefficient of contraction, Cc. Actual area of the jet at B = CcA Actual Discharge = Actual area at B * Actual velocity at B = CcA * Cv gH2

= Cc * Cv A gH2

Hence Cd = Cc * Cv

equation for a venturi meter is the same as for an orifice meter, except that the flow coefficient value of a venturi meter is generally higher than that of an orifice meter and a flow nozzle. This follows since the coefficient of contraction of a venturi meter is unity.

Class Exercise 5.3: A horizontal venturi tube, 280 mm diameter at the entrance and 140 mm diameter at the throat, has a discharge coefficient of 0.97. A U-tube manometer filled with mercury is connected between the entrance and the throat to measure the water flow between them. Calculate the flowrate when the difference in the mercury level is 50 mm. (0.0542 m3/s)

4. An oil of specific gravity 0.8 is flowing upwards through a vertical pipe line, which tapers from 400 mm to 200 mm diameter. A mercury manometer is connected to the pipe line to measure the flow as shown in the figure below. The distance between the manometer is 1 m and the reading is 250 mm. By neglecting the losses between the tappings, determine

(i) the pressure between the two taped points, and (ii) the flow rate of the pipeline.
