Bernoulli Equation
Recall fluid mechanics course, the Bernoulli equation is:
P1 v12 P2 v22
+ + z1 = + + z2 hP + hT + hL
g 2g g 2g
Here, we want to study how to calculate the total losses( hL ):
hL = Major Losses + Minor Losses

Major Losses
Occurs mainly due to the pipe friction and viscous dissipation in the flowing
water.
The major head loss is termed by(hf ).

There are several formulas have been developed to calculate


major losses:
1. Darcy-Weisbach Formula:
Is the most popular formula used to calculate major losses and it has the
following form:
L V2 Q Q 8 f L Q2
hf = f ( ) ( ) , V = = hf = 2 5
D 2g A D2 gD
4
L = length of pipe (m)
D = diameter of pipe (m)
V2
= velocity head (m)
2g
Q = flow rate (m3 /s)
f = friction factor
Friction Factor():
For laminar flow (Re<2000) the friction factor depends only on Re :
64
f= (smooth pipe)
Re
If the pipe is smooth (e= 0) and the flow is turbulent with (4000 <Re < 105)
The friction factor depends only on Re :
0.316
f = 0.25
Re

Hydraulics Water Flow in Pipes

For turbulent flow (Re > 4000) the friction factor can be founded by Moody
diagram.
To use Moody diagram you need the followings:
The Reynolds number: Re
e
The relative roughness:
D
Reynolds Number: Re
VD VD
Re = but = R e =

= dynamic viscosity (Pa. s) or kg/m. s
= kinemaic viscosty (m2 /)
V = mean velocity in the pipe
D = pipe diameter
Note:
Kinematic viscosity depends on the fluid temperature and can be calculated
from the following formula:
497 106
= T: is fluid temperature in Celsius
(T + 42.5)1.5

Relative Roughness:

e(mm) = Roughness height (internal roughness of the pipe)
and it depends mainly on the pipe material.
Table (3.1) in slides of Dr.Khalil shows the value of e for different pipe
materials.

The following figure exhibits Moody diagram:

Empirical Formulas for Friction Head Losses


These formulas gives exact value for friction head losses and each formula
extensively used in a specific field, for example, Hazen-Williams formula is
used extensively in water supply systems and most softwares (like
WaterCAD) used it in analyzing and design of water networks. However,
Manning equation us extensively used in open channel, and in designing of
waste water networks.
See these formulas from the slides of Dr.Khalil.

Minor Losses
Occurs due to the change of the velocity of the flowing fluid in the
magnitude or in the direction.
So, the minor losses at:
Valves.
Tees.
Bends.
Contraction and Expansion.
The minor losses are termed by(hm ) and have a common form:
V2
hm = K L
2g
K L = minor losses coefficient and it depends on the type of fitting

The value of (K) for each fitting can be estimated from tables exist in slides
of Dr.Khalil.
You must save the following values of K:
For sharp edge entrance: K = 0.5
For all types of exists: K = 1.

The pipe shown in the figure below contains water flowing at a flow rate of
0.0065 m3/s. The difference in elevation between points A and B is 11m.
For the pressure measurement shown,
a) What is the direction of the flow?
b) What is the total head loss between points A and B?
c) What is the diameter of the pipe?
Given data:

Page (9) Dr.Khalil Al-astal Eng. Ahmed Al-Agha Eng. Ruba Awad
Hydraulics Water Flow in Pipes

Solution
a) Direction of flow??
To know the direction of flow, we calculate the total head at each point, and
then the fluid will moves from the higher head to lower head.
Assume the datum is at point A:
Total head at point A:
PA vA2 2.5 105 vA2 vA2
+ + zA = + + 0 = 25.484 +
g 2g 9810 2g 2g

Total head at point BA:


PB vB2 2 105 vB2 vB2
+ + zB = + + 11 = 31.39 +
g 2g 9810 2g 2g

But, VA = VB (Since there is the same diameter and flow at A and B)

So, the total head at B is larger than total head at A>> the water is flowing
from B (upper) to A (lower) .

b) Head loss between A and B??


Apply Bernoullis equation between B and A (from B to A)
PB vB2 PA vA2
+ + zB = + + zA + hL
g 2g g 2g
v2B v2A
31.39 + = 25.484 + + hL , But VA = VB hL = 5.9 m.

So, the diameter of the pipe is 0.056 m = 56 mm .

In the shown figure , the connecting pipe is commercial steel 6 cm in
diameter having a roughness height of 0.045mm. Determine the direction of
flow, and then calculate the flow rate. The fluid is water ( = 1 10-3
kg/m.s).Neglect Minor losses.

Assume the datum is at point 1:


Total head at point A:
P1 v12 200 103

g 2g 9810
Total head at point 2:
P2 v22
+ + z2 = 0 + 0 + 15 = 15 m
g 2g

So, the total head at 1 is larger than total head at 2>> the water is flowing
from 1 to 2 .

Applying Bernoullis equation between 1 and 2:


P1 v12 P2 v22

Two reservoirs having a constant difference in water level of 66 m are
connected by a pipe having a diameter of 225 mm and a length of 4km. The
pipe is tapped at point C which is located 1.6km from the upper reservoir,
and water drawn off at the rate of 0.0425 m3/s. Determine the flow rate at
which water enters the lower reservoir. Use a friction coefficient of f = 0.036
for all pipes. Use the following K values for the minor losses:
Kent = 0.5, Kexit = 1, Kv = 5

Flow through series pipes


Is the same in case of single pipe (Ch.3), but here the total losses occur by
more than 1 pipe in series. (See examples 3.9 and 4.1 in text book).

Flow through Parallel pipes


Here, the main pipe divides into two or more branches and again join
together downstream to form single pipe.
The discharge will be divided on the pipes:
Q = Q1 + Q 2 + Q 3 +
But, the head loss in each branch is the same, because the pressure at the
beginning and the end of each branch is the same (all pipes branching from
the same point and then collecting to another one point).
hL = hf,1 = hf,2 = hf,3 =

Pipelines with Negative Pressure (Siphon Phenomena)


When the pipe line is raised above the hydraulic grade line, the pressure
(gauge pressure) at the highest point of the siphon will be negative.
The highest point of the siphon is called Summit (S).
If the negative gauge pressure at the summit exceeds a specified value, the
water will starts liberated and the flow of water will be obstructed.
The allowed negative pressure on summit is -10.3m (theoretically), but in
practice this value is -7.6 m.
If the pressure at S is less than or equal (at max.) -7.6, we can say the water
will flow through the pipe, otherwise (Ps >-7.6) the water will not flow and
the pump is needed to provide an additional head.
Note
Pabs = Patm + Pgauge
101.3103
The value of Patm = 101.3 kPa = = 10.3m
9810
Pabs = 10.3 + Pgauge
So always we want to keep Pabs positive (Pgauge = 10.3m as max, theo. )
To maintain the flow without pump.

Solve the problem in the following two cases:
a) The valve (V) is closed.
b) The valve (V) is opened with K= 5

Solution
Case (a): Valve is closed
When the valve is closed, no water will flowing in pipe B because the valve
prevents water to pass through the pipe. Thus the water will flowing
throughout pipe A and pipe C (in series) and the system will be as follows:

Now, you can solve the problem as any problem (Pipes in series).
And if you are given the losses of the enlargement take it, if not, neglect it.
Case (b): Valve is Open
Here the solution procedures will be exactly the same as problem (1) >>
water will flow through pipe A and B and C, and pipes A and B are parallel

Q new,BD = +0.05 + (0.025 0.005) = +0.02m3 /s
Or:
Q new,BD = Q initial,loop(2) + (loop(2) loop(1) )
Q new,BD = 0.05 + (0.005 (0.025)) = 0.02 m3 /s
Now, we put the corrected flow rate on each pipe of the network:

Note: If the sign of the


corrected flow rate is the same
sign of initial flow rate, the
direction of flow will remain
unchanged, however if the
sign is changed, the flow
direction must reversed.

The figure below shows a portion of a pump and pipe system. The 30-m long pipeline
connecting the reservoir to the pump is 1m in diameter with friction factor f = 0.02. For
the pump, the required net positive suction head (NPSHR ) is 2 m.

A pump is required to supply water to an elevated tank through a 0.2m
diameter pipe which is 300m long and has a friction factor f equal to 0.025.
Minor losses causes an additional head loss of 4V2/2g where V is the
velocity in the pipe in m/s. The static head between the pump wet well and
the elevated tank is 40 m. The relationship between head, H, and flow, Q,
for the pump is given by the following equation:
H= 50 - 600Q2
Where Q in m3/s and H in meters.
a) under these conditions determine the flow in the pipeline
b) if the maximum efficiency of the pump is achieved when the flow is 70
/s then how could the system be redesigned so that the pump would operate
at this efficiency.
Solution
Pump Curve Equation is: H= 50 - 600Q2 and since Q in m3/s we calculate
the head at the following values of Q as shown in the following table:

Q (m3/s) 0 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.25


H (m) 50 48.5 44 36.5 26 12.5

Now, we want to find the system head equation:


To find the relation between the required head and flow for the system, the
best way is to apply Bernoulli equation on the given system and then
find the relation between pump head and flow rate (general case), or by
applying the following equation (special case):
H = HStatic + hL
When the pump is used to transfer water from one reservoir to the other.
H = HStatic + hL
HStatic = 40 m (given)
hL = hf + hm

8 0.025 300Q2
hL = 2 5

9.81 0.2
So, the following equation is for system curve:

H = 40 + 2143.26Q2
Now, we calculate the head at the same values of Q (in pump curve) as
shown in the following table:
Q (m3/s) 0 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.25
H (m) 40.0 45.4 61.4 88.2 125.7 174.0
Now, we draw the pump curve and the system curve, and the point of
intersection between the two curves is the operating point:

As shown in figure above, the pump flow rate is 0.06 m3/s (60 /s) and the
pump head is 49m.

Page (41) Dr.Khalil Al-astal Eng. Ahmed Al-Agha Eng. Ruba Awad
Hydraulics Pumps

The required B, means if we get maximum efficiency if the operating point


gives flow rate of (70 /s) = 0.07 m3/s, what should you modify in the
system to meet this efficiency??
From the above graph, the corresponding head at Q = 0.07 is 47.5m.
Now, we know the system curve equation:
H = 40 + hL
At maximum efficiency, H = 47.5 m and Q = 0.07
47.5 = 40 + hL hL = 7.5m
Now the only, factor that we can change is the diameter of the pipe, or
changing material of the pipe (change f value), but assume the same
material, so change the diameter of the pipe as following:
8 0.025 300 0.072 0.072
hL = 7.5 = +4 2
2 9.81 D5
2 9.81 ( D2 )

D = 0.214m (to get maximum efficiency).

For the shown figure below, (a) what is the operation point for the system
that shown in the figure below, the pump characteristics curve is given
below (Assume f = 0.014), (b) If the efficiency of the system is 80%, what is
the power required?, (c) What is the operation point in case of two identical

Solution
a)
The pump curve is given as shown above, now we want to find the system
curve. So firstly we find the system curve equation:
By applying Bernoulli equation between the two reservoir, the equation will

So, the following equation is for system curve:

H = 8.5 + 1619Q2

Hydraulics Pumps

But, in this equation Q is in m3/s and the horizontal axis in the given graph is
in m3/min., so each value on the graph must be divided by 60 (to transform
to m3/s) and then we draw the system curve on the same graph as following:

The value of pump flow (at the operation point) is 3 m3/min = 0.05 m3/s.
The value of pump head (at the operation point) is 12.55 m .

b)

c)
When we use two pumps in parallel, the system curve will never change, but
the pump curve will change (The values of head remains constant but the
values of Q multiplied by 2), so we draw the new pump curve by
multiplying each value of Q by 2 at each head as following:

Hydraulics Pumps

So the new value of Q is 4.1 m3/min = 0.0683 m3/s and the new value of H is
16m .

Formulas used to describe the flow in open channels


The most common formula is Manning equation:
1 2/3
V = R h S 0.5
n
n = manning coefficient
S = The slope of channel bed.
Wetted Area A
R h = Hydraulic Radius = =
Wetted Perimeter P

Most Economical Section of Channels


The most efficient section is satisfied when the flow in the channel is
maximum and thereby the minimum wetted perimeter.
I.e. for most economical section:
dP dP
= 0.0 = 0.0 such that,

FR < 1 Sub critical


FR = 1 Critical
FR > 1 Sper critical

Critical Depth (yc ):


Is the depth of flow of liquid at which at which the specific energy is
minimum (Emin ) and the flow corresponds to this point is called critical
flow (FR = 1).
So, we can classify the flow also as following:
If y > yc Sub critical flow(FR < 1)
If y = yc Critical flow(FR = 1)
If y < yc Super critical flow(FR > 1)

A trapezoidal channel is to be design to carry a discharge of 75m3/s at
maximum hydraulic efficiency. The side slopes of the channel are 1V:2H
(1 vertical and 2 horizontal) and the Mannings roughness n is 0.03.
If the maximum allowable velocity in the channel is 1.75m/s m what
should be the dimensions of the channel (bottom width and height)
What should be the longitudinal slope of the channel if the flow is
uniform?

triangular flume (open channel) that has side slopes 1:1. The flume is on a slope of 0.006,
and n = 0.012;
(a) Find normal depth (yn).
(b) Determine wether the flow is subcritical or supercritical.

(c)Find the specific energy (Es) and the critical specific energy (Ec).

Solution

To find the normal depth, we use Manning equation:

Q = 0.4 m /s , n = 0.012 , S = 0.006 (Givens)

now, substitute by all above data in Mannings equation:
y2
0.4 = (0.353y)2/3 0.0060.5 y = 0.457 m .

T 2y 2 0.457
1.915
FR = = 1.28 > 1 .
9.81 0.2285
Or, we calculate the critical depth:
Q2 A3 0.42 (yc2 )3

g T 9.81 2yc
Since yc = 0.504 > y = 0.457 .
c)

You are asked to design a rectangular channel that has the minimum wetted
perimeter and that conveys flow in critical condition. Find the relationship
between the critical depth and the channel width if the flow discharge is
constant. Your answer should look something like yc = mB , where m is
constant and B is the channel width.
