  2. Moody chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

    where is the density of the fluid, is the average velocity in the pipe, is the friction factor from the Moody chart, is the length of the pipe and is the pipe diameter. The chart plots Darcy–Weisbach friction factor against Reynolds number Re for a variety of relative roughnesses, the ratio of the mean height of roughness of the pipe to the ...

  3. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    In fluid dynamics, the Darcy–Weisbach equation is an empirical equation that relates the head loss, or pressure loss, due to friction along a given length of pipe to the average velocity of the fluid flow for an incompressible fluid.

  4. Plug flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_flow

    where is the Darcy friction factor (from the above equation or the Moody Chart), is the sublayer thickness, is the pipe diameter, is the density, is the friction velocity (not an actual velocity of the fluid), is the average velocity of the plug (in the pipe), is the shear on the wall, and is the pressure loss down the length of the pipe.

  5. Reynolds number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number

    A is the pipe's cross-sectional area (A = ⁠ πD 2 / 4 ⁠) (m 2), u is the mean velocity of the fluid (m/s), μ (mu) is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid (Pa·s = N·s/m 2 = kg/(m·s)), ν (nu) is the kinematic viscosity (ν = ⁠ μ / ρ ⁠) (m 2 /s), ρ (rho) is the density of the fluid (kg/m 3), W is the mass flowrate of the fluid (kg/s).

  6. Friction loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_loss

    The roughness of the pipe surface influences neither the fluid flow nor the friction loss. In turbulent flow, losses are proportional to the square of the fluid velocity, V 2; here, a layer of chaotic eddies and vortices near the pipe surface, called the viscous sub-layer, forms the transition to the bulk flow. In this domain, the effects of ...

  7. Flow velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_velocity

    In many engineering applications the local flow velocity vector field is not known in every point and the only accessible velocity is the bulk velocity or average flow velocity ¯ (with the usual dimension of length per time), defined as the quotient between the volume flow rate ˙ (with dimension of cubed length per time) and the cross sectional area (with dimension of square length):

  8. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    For pipe flows a so-called transit time method is applied where a radiotracer is injected as a pulse into the measured flow. The transit time is defined with the help of radiation detectors placed on the outside of the pipe. The volume flow is obtained by multiplying the measured average fluid flow velocity by the inner pipe cross-section.

  9. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    The Reynolds number Re is taken to be Re = V D / ν, where V is the mean velocity of fluid flow, D is the pipe diameter, and where ν is the kinematic viscosity μ / ρ, with μ the fluid's Dynamic viscosity, and ρ the fluid's density. The pipe's relative roughness ε / D, where ε is the pipe's effective roughness height and D the pipe ...
