Fluid Mechanics Flashcards
Entrance Length Laminar Flow
0.06D x Re
Entrance Length Turbulent Flow
4.4D x (Re)^1/6
Re for Laminar Flow
< 2100
Re for Transitional Flow
Between 2100 and 4000
Re for Turbulent Flow
Over 4000
Pump power requirement
volume flow rate x pressure loss
Torricelli Equation
v2 = sqrt(2gh)
Pitot tube principle
P(stag) = P1 + 0.5p(v1^2)
Bernoullis equation -> in terms of pressure
divide by roe/density
Bernoullis equatoin -> in terms of head
divide by roe/density, divde by g
Friction factor for Laminar Flow
64/Re
Head loss for Loss Coefficient
head loss = pressure loss/pg
Loss coefficient equation
head loss/(v^2/(2g))
Momentum equation for non-uniform velocity profile
Sum F = BmVin - BmVout
Continuity equation
v1 A1 = v2 A2
