    This document contains notes for a hydraulics course covering fluid flow in branching pipes and pipe friction loss calculations. Two example problems are worked through. The first involves calculating the pump flow needed when flow requirements in one pipe are known. The second involves determining the output power of a turbine given the pipe diameter and turbine efficiency. Two similar practice problems are assigned involving calculating flows in branched pipes and head loss calculations using the Darcy-Weisbach and Reynolds equations.

    NOTES FOR MARCH 30-APRIL 3

    Fluid Flow in Branching Pipes

    Example:
    How many liters per second of water must the pump supply shown when the flow needed in the 915-
    𝑚3
    mm-diameter pipe is 1.314 ? Assume f=0.017 for all pipes.
    𝑠𝑒𝑐

    Solution:

    In order to solve this problem, we need to


    determine the direction of flow for each
    point. Since we have point C, we have to
    consider if it receives water from D or
    gives water to E.

    Let’s assume point B to be N and N’ for the


    dummy point of reference higher than the
    elevation at point C.

    Since we have the pump at point A,


    therefore it gives out water.
    𝑚3
    Since the discharge at E is given with Q=1.314 𝑠𝑒𝑐, we can solve for the head loss using Darcy-Welsbach
    Formula

    0.0826 𝑓𝐿𝑄𝐸2
    ℎ𝑒 =
    𝐷𝐸5

    0.0826(0.017)(2440𝑚)(1.314)2
    ℎ𝑒 =
    (0.915)5
    ℎ𝑒 = 9.22𝑚
    : 𝐸𝑙 𝑁 ′ = 𝐸𝑙. 𝐸 + ℎ𝑒

    𝐸𝑙 𝑁 ′ = 6.1𝑚 + 9.22𝑚 = 15.32𝑚 (Since elevation at N’ is higher than Point C, therefore C is


    receiving water from D.)

    Solve for Head loss at D, ℎ𝐷 = 𝐸𝑙. 𝐷 − 𝐸𝑙. 𝑁 ′

    ℎ𝐷 = 24.6𝑚 − 15.32𝑚 = 9.28𝑚 (We can now solve for the discharge at D)

    0.0826 𝑓𝐿𝑄𝐷2
    ℎ𝐷 =
    𝐷𝐷5

    0.0826(0.017)(1829𝑚)𝑄𝐷2
    9.28 =
    (0.508)5
    𝑚3
    𝑄𝐷 = 0.35
    𝑠𝑒𝑐

    Using force equilibrium, combine


    flow of the same direction.

    𝑄𝐴 + 𝑄𝐷 = 𝑄𝐶 + 𝑄𝐸
    𝑄𝐴 and 𝑄𝐷 is giving off water while
    𝑄𝐶 and 𝑄𝐸 are the recipients.

    Hence,

    ℎ𝐶 = 𝐸𝑙. 𝑁 ′ − 𝐸𝑙. 𝐶
    ℎ𝐶 = 15.32 − 12.2 = 3.12𝑚

    0.0826 𝑓𝐿𝑄𝐶2
    ℎ𝐶 =
    𝐷𝐶5

    0.0826(0.017)(1220𝑚)𝑄𝐶2
    3.12 =
    (0.406)5
    𝑚3
    𝑄𝐶 = 0.142
    𝑠𝑒𝑐

    𝑄𝐴 + 𝑄𝐷 = 𝑄𝐶 + 𝑄𝐸
    𝑄𝐴 + 0.35 = 0.142 + 1.314
    𝑚3
    𝑄𝐴 = 1.106
    𝑠𝑒𝑐

    2. The turbine shown is in the 350mm diameter line. If the turbine efficiency is 90%, determine its
    output power in kilowatts.

    Solution:

    Set point N and N’ and determine the direction of flow for each point.

    Flow at Point B is unknown. Solve the Elevation at N’ to determine the direction of the flow.

    Since all the data at point C were given, it will be easier to begin the computation at point C. Solve for
    head loss.
    0.0826 𝑓𝐿𝑄𝐶2
    ℎ𝐶 =
    𝐷𝐶5

    0.0826(0.02)(2440𝑚)(0.23)2
    ℎ𝐶 =
    (0.3)5
    ℎ𝐶 = 87.75𝑚
    𝐸𝑙 𝑁 ′ = 𝐸𝑙. 𝐶 + ℎ𝐶 = 280 + 87.75 = 367.75𝑚 > 𝐸𝑙. 𝐵
    Therefore, Point B is receiving the flow from point A.
    ℎ𝐵 = 𝐸𝑙. 𝑁 ′ − 𝐸𝑙. 𝐵
    ℎ𝐵 = 367.75 − 330 = 37.75𝑚
    0.0826 𝑓𝐿𝑄𝐵2
    ℎ𝐵 =
    𝐷𝐵5

    0.0826(0.024)(610𝑚)𝑄𝐵2
    37.75 =
    (0.15)5
    𝑚3
    𝑄𝐵 = 0.049
    𝑠𝑒𝑐
    𝑄𝐴 = 𝑄𝐵 + 𝑄𝐶
    𝑚3
    𝑄𝐴 = 0.23 + 0.049 = 0.279 𝑠𝑒𝑐

    0.0826 𝑓𝐿𝑄𝐴2
    ℎ𝐴 =
    𝐷𝐴5

    0.0826(0.018)(1220𝑚)(0.279)2
    ℎ𝐴 =
    (0.35)5
    ℎ𝐴 = 26.88𝑚

    Let, y = El. A – El. N’

    𝑦 = 400 − 367.75 = 32.25𝑚


    ℎ𝐴 + 𝐻𝐸 = 𝑦
    26.88 + 𝐻𝐸 = 32.25
    𝐻𝐸 = 32.25 − 26.88 = 5.37𝑚
    𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝐼𝑛𝑝𝑢𝑡 = 𝑄𝐴 𝛾𝑤 𝐻𝐸
