AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF MASS FLOW

THROUGH SHORT CIRCULAR TUBES IN THE TRANSITION FLOW REGIME

A. K. Sreekanth

Boeing Scientific Resea~ch Laboratories, Seattle, Wa1hington

ABSTRACT

The mass flow of nitrogen gas through short circular

tube, was measured in the tran1ition flow regime with the length­

to-diameter ratio, varied between 0.005 and 1 and with pre11ure

ratio• across the tubes varied between 1 and 20. The range of

Knud1en numbers (ratio of upstream mean free path to the diameter

of the tube) covered was between O.l to 1.7. Compari1on1 are made

of the measur~ments with existing theorie1, and a semi-empirical

equation is developed to correlate the measured data at all of

the pressure ratios, Knudsen numbers, and length-to-diameter

ratios covered in the present study •

I. INTRODUCTION

The theoretical and experiruental investigation of the flow

of a raref h:d gas throu~h tubes h3d i ta ori~in more than fl f ty years ago

when Knudsen studied the flow of pure gas•is in lon~ circular tubes. He

~erived a theoretical expression for the mass flow under free molecular

flow conditions and from an experimental study deduced a semi-empirical

formula for the transition from molecular to Poiseuille flow. A few years

later, Clausin~ theoretically investi~ated flow through short tubes under

free molecular conditions. Almost all of the experimental work done since

investigated the transition flow through a circular orifice at extremely

hi~h pressure ratio• to check the near frer. molecular flow theory b~ing

developed at that time.

II. EXPERIMENTAL ARRANGEM£N1' AND MEASURE?-U::NTS

Apparatus

All the experiment s were conducted in the Boeing Scientific

Research Laboratories' continuous flow, low density gaa dynamics facility.

It conai1ts of a large stainless steel vacuum tank, 44" in diameter and

108" long, one end of which is connected to a large vapor .,.~n4Jter pump

(E'cizJards 18 B 4) which has a rated unbaffled pumping speed of 2800 liters

-3 per second at 10 torr. An orifice plate or a short tube separate• thi1

tank into upstream and down1tream chambers (Fig. 1). Nitrogen gas at room

0 temperature (22.5 C) is admitted into the upstre.am chamber through a ma11-

flow tran1ducer and a throttle valve. Downstream pressure is controlled

by the vacuum pump and an adjustable leak. The pressures in the two

chambers are measured and monitored by two sets of thermistor ~auges

calibrated against a precision mercury McLeod gauge.

Ma11 Flow Transducers

C0111Dercially available Hastings-Raydist mass-flow transducers,

with ali~ht modifications for increased accuracy, were used to measure

the mass flow. Two sets of transd ucers were useJ. one having a ran~e of

0 - 20 standard cc/min. and the other O - 100 standard cc/mira. The output

of the transducers were read on a precision (Laboratory Standard) millivolt

recorder, and the mass-flow meters were calibrated both before and after

the experiments against a precision primary standard Porter low-flow

calibrator.

of variou1 thickne11e1 were used as short tube,. Four geometries were

teated. All had the same diameter of one inch, but the lengths were

0.233, 0.493, 0.756, and 0.995 inche1. The orifice plate con1i1ted of

a circular hole, again one inch ln diameter drilled in a 0.005" thick

copper 1heet epoxied to a bra•• ring of 12" in1ide diameter. The 1hort

tube and orifice plate, were fitted with "O" ring 1eal1 into the dividing

wall in the tank. The size, of the vacuum tank and the orifice and short

tube plate, were 1uch that for all practical purpo1e1 one could consider

them a1 being in an infinite plane wall separating two larae chamber,.

Using nitrogen at room temperature (22.5°c) the mass flow throu~h

tubes and orifice was mea1ured for variou1 upstream and downstream pre11ure

condition,. For each of the tubes the maa1 flow• were measured at five

Knud1en number values, 0.124; 0.247; 0.494; 0.986; and 1.69. (The Knudaen

nmber in this case is defined as the ratio of upstream mean free path to

the diameter of the tube or orifice.) For each Knudsen number th~ ran~e

of pres1ure ratios covered varied from 1 to 20. The up1.tream pres1ures

were kept con1tant at 15.9, 7.96, 3.98, 1.99, and 1.16 micron• Hg. pre11ure1,

corresponding to the above Knudsen number value,, and only the down1tream

pre11ure wa1 changed to obtain the various pre1sure ratio conditions. Some

measurements were also taken at an upstream pressure of 23.8 microns Hg,

corresponding to a Knudsen number of 0.083 for small pressure ratios across

the tube or orifice.

the ahaolute accuracy of the McLeod gau~e used for calibrat i ng the

thermistor gauges. ln the pres1ure range of the present experiment,, the

output of the thermiator v1. pre11ure i1 linear. Since the same pair of

thermistor• was used to mea1ure both up1tream and down1tream pre11ure1,

the ratio of millivolt output, should then repre1ent the pre11ure ratio•

and the uncertainty therein was within t ~%. For flow rate• greater than

lower flow rates, it is probable that the error might be as hiRh •• t 3%

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The plots of the flow rate per unit cross-sectional area of the

tube vs. pressure ratios at various Knudsen number ran~es for all of the

tube eeometries tested are shown in FigureR 2 to 6. Referring to these

figures, it can be observed that at a Knudsen number of 0.12 the flow

rate is still increasin~ at pressure ratios as high as 20. 4 Liepmann

has pointed out that for the case of the flow of a continuun, gas through

a circular aperture, the pressure ratio required to choke the flow is one

or two orders of ma~nitude ~reater than for a convergent-divergent (Laval)

nozzle. The same argument can be extended to the case of short tube• in

wnich, due to small length-to-diameter ratios, the flow through them ls

still like an orifice-type flow. If one assumes that the flow ls still

behaving as a continuum-type flow at Kn• 0.12, the present experiments

substantiate the fact that pressure ratios required to choke the flow in

orifices and short tubes are very much higher than for a Laval nozzle.

For thl:! calculation of the Knudsen number, the mean free path

was determined by the followln~ relation

from the free molecular flow values is ~reater at lower pressure ratios

and gradually decreases aa pressure ratio is increased. At high Knudsen

numbers the deviation becomes almost constant at all pressure ratios

for a given Knudsen number. It was also observed from measurements that

the m/mfm value decreases slightly as the length of the tube is increased

for the same diameter at all Knudsen numbers and pressure r~cios. Graphs

illustrating this effect at pressure ratios of 17, 10, 5, 3, and 2 are

shown in Figures 17 to 21 . 1'he scatter in the m/mfm at high Knudsen numbers

for pressure ratios cl~se to one in Figures 7 to 11 is probably due to the

fact that theoretical mfm were calculated by the pressure difference

(P1 - P2) across the tube for a given pressure ratio; since we are subtract­

in~ two quantities of equal magnitude, a very ali,ht error in the pressure

ratio readings will be magnified in the pressure difference. (The present

results of m/mfm for the orifice differ by 2 - 3% from those reported

5 earlier. This difference is attributed to the alight uncertainty involved

in the measurement of the pressures. In the earlier work the thermistor

gauges were calibrated ag3inst a conmercially available McLeod gauge. The

absolute accuracy of this ~auge was found to be not as good as that of a

primary standards McLeod ~au~e a~ainst which the thermistor gau~es were

calibrated in the present runs and mass flow measurements repeated.)

For the creeping flow (flow in which the inertia terms can be

neglected in comparison to viscous terms in the Navier-Stokes equa ~ion) of

7 a continuum gas through a circular orifice, Roscoe has shown that the

pressure drop is related to volumetric flow, Q, by the relation

for a fixed Land D the pressure drop is linearly proportional to the

between pressure drop and flow rate is

== 0.245 k • Kn (5)

where Kn• Knudsen number based on diameter and k the Clausing factor,

Q, lJ • and Kn values being evaluated at upstream conditions. (For the

derivation of the above equation the relationship between viscosity and

the mean free path as given by Equation (1) was used.)

From the measurements it was found that in the tran~ition flow,

for pressure ratios less than about 1.2, the flow rate was directly pro­

portional to the pressure drop but the proportionality constant was a

function of Knudsen number and tube geometry. This is shown in Figure 22.

For the determination of the quantity Q/~P, the measured flow rates as

a function of pressure ratios were plotted and a smooth curve was drawn

through the experimental points. From this curve a cross plot of Q vs ~p

was made and the quantity Q/~P was determined. Table 32 lists the values

thus obtained for various tube geometries and Knudsen numbers. A semi­

empirical equation which was developed (see below) to correlate with the

mass flow measurements was also foJnd to fit fairly well with the measured

flow rate at extremely low pressure ratios, as shown in Figure 23. The

empirical equation is valid or.ly in the transition or near free molecule

flow regimes.

9 Willis has theoretically analyzed the mass flow through a

circular orifice at very hir-h pressure ratios in the near free molecule

flow re~ime. His final calculations are restricted to one iteration in an

inte~ral iteration scheme. Comparison of this result with the orifice data

at a pressure ratio of 17 is shown in Fi~ure 24. The theory underestimates

the mass flow slightly for Reynolds number, Re • ( DPl ) less than one. '/RT 1 lJl

As pointed out by Willis there is no reason to expect the first iterate

solution to ar,ree with data for Re> 1 since further iterations are then

necessary. Although comparison is made of the experimental data at a press­

ure ratio of 17 with the theory which assumes infinite or very large

pressure ratio across the orifice, the m/mfm values for high Knudsen numbers

have almost become independent of pressure ratios from 5 to 17 (Figure 7)

and it is therefore reasonable to assume that the same values hold ~ood for

lar~er pressure ratios.

Milligan2 in his work on nozzle characteristics in the transition

regime did some experiments on the flow throu~h a short tube of L/D • 0.312.

The comparison between the measured values and the Equation (8)

are shown in Figures 26 to 30. The \;·~dinate represents the volumetric

flow per unit cross sectional area of the tube or orifice times L(l+D/L).

The solid line represents Equation (8) converted into proper units plotted

in the graphs. It could be seen that the a~reement i1 very good at high

Knudsen numbers, and as the Knudsen number is decreased the semi-empirical

theory overestimates the mass flow by 5% at hi~h pressure ratios. Although

the experiments were done at a fixed diameter of 1• · for all the tubes and

orifice, the semi-empirical relation developed will be valid for other

diameter••• well since Equation (8) can be converted with a little algebra

to

m/unit area. (9)

Thus for a ~iven Knudsen number, L/D, and pressure ratio, the ratio of

mass flow per unit cross-sectional 3rea is independent of the diameter

of the tube. The ratio of mass flow as ~iven by the Equation (9) to the

theoretical free molecule flow value is

V. CONCLUSIONS

The mass flow throur,h short tubes has been measured for the

ran~e of pressure ratios from l to 20 in th~ transition flow re~ime. The

Knudsen numbers based on diameter varied from 0.1 to 1.7. For the case

of creeping flow, the pressure drop is linearly proportional to volumetric

flow as predicted bv both continuum and free molecule flow theories (for

fixed Kn). The slope of 0 vs. 6P was a function of Knudsen number and

lcn~th-to-diamcter ratio of tubes, and the results show a ,·ery smooth

transition from the constant continuum value to a linear function of Knudsen

number in Cree mol~cule flow. At hi~h pressure ratios, for Reynolds number

around one, the measured values are slightly hi~her than Willis' first

iterate solution, for the case of an orifice. The mass flows were hi~hly

dependent on the pressure ratios for a ~iven tube ~eometry and pressure

ratios ~rcater than 30 are required before it becomes constant for a ~iven

upstream condition. For a ~iven upstream pressure, the decrease in the mass

flow as the tube lcn~th, L, is increased (for fixed diameter, D, of the tube)

was found to be proportional to L(l+D/L). A semi-empirical equation was

developed to predict the mass flow throu~h short tubes, and this equation

is identical to Poiseuille equation with slip boundary conditions multiplied

by a factor which is a function of tube ~eometry alone. This equation was

found to be valid at all of the pressure ratios and Knudsen numbers covered

in the present experiments. At hir,h Knudsen numbers, the experiments

showed that the measurements were approachin~ asymptotically the theoretical

values predicted by Clausin~ for short tubes.
