Fluid Mechanics for Fluid Systems Flashcards
1
Q
What represents the pressure drop phenomenon?
A
It is the lose in pressure , or head loss, when a liquid flows through a pipe due to internal friction. This hearts up the pipe
2
Q
What is the Reynolds Number?
A
(densityVelocityDistance)/Dynamic viscosity
3
Q
What represents the Hydraulic Diameter?
A
4*X-sectional area/Circumference
4
Q
For fully turbulent flow, friction coefficient is the function of which parameter?
A
Delta
5
Q
