PUMP AND PIPELINE SYSTEM

I. Introduction

A pipeline is a circular conduit that transports fluid from one system location to

another. A pipeline is made up of a circular pipe filled with fluid, the process fluid, and the

valves and fittings that control the flow of fluid through the pipe. Each of these factors has an

impact on pipeline head loss. When fluid flows inside a pipeline, friction occurs between the

moving fluid and the stationary pipe wall. This friction converts some of the fluid’s hydraulic

energy to thermal energy. This thermal energy cannot be converted back to hydraulic

energy, so the fluid experiences a drop-in pressure. This conversion and loss of energy is

known as head loss. Head losses in pipes may be classified into two; major head loss, which

is caused by pipe friction and minor head loss which is directly related to the velocity head

of a pipe. Head loss due to friction can be computed using the Darcy-Weishbach equation,

Manning formula and Hazen Williams formula.

HEADLOSS DUE TO FRICTION

II. Learning objectives:

In this lesson, the discussion will focus on head losses due to friction. At the end of

the discussion, student should be able to;

⚫ Understand the discussion about head loss due to friction.

⚫ Learn the different formula in computing the head loss due to friction of a pipe.

⚫ Derive the different formulas for head loss due to friction,


⚫ And use the derived formula in solving practical problems about head loss due to

friction.

III. Discussion:

1. Definition of terms

1. Laminar flow -The flow is said to be laminar when the path of the individual fluid

particles does not cross or intersect. The flow is always laminar when the Reynolds

number is less than 2000 (Gillesania, 2015).

2. Reynolds Number- which is dimensionless, is the ratio of the inertia force to viscous

force. (Gillesania, 2015).

For pipes flowing full,

𝑉𝐷𝜌 (Eq. 1)
𝑅𝑒 =
𝜇
𝜇
v=
𝜌
𝑉𝐷
𝑅𝑒 = (Eq. 2)
v

3. Turbulent Flow- The flow is said to be turbulent when the path of individual particles is

irregular and continuously cross each other. Turbulent flow normally occurs when the

Reynolds number exceed 2000 (Gillesania, 2015).

2. Head losses

According to the Corrosionpedia (2021), head loss refers to a measurement of the

energy dissipated in a fluid system due to friction along the length of a pipe or hydraulic

system, and those due to fittings, valves and other system structures. According to Gillesania
(2015) head losses are classified into two: minor head loss, which are caused by changes in

velocity of directions of flow and are commonly expressed in kinetic energy, and major head

loss, which is caused by pipe friction along the straight sections of pipe of uniform diameter

and uniform roughness. In this lesson we will focus on the major head loss which is head loss

due to friction.

3. Major Head loss -Frictional loss

The Nuclear Power (2021) states that energy loss resulting from friction in a pipeline

is commonly termed the friction head loss(hf). This is the loss of head caused by pipe wall

friction and the viscous dissipation in flowing water. Major losses, which are associated with

frictional energy loss per length of pipe depends on the flow velocity, pipe length, pipe

diameter, and a friction factor based on the roughness of the pipe, and whether the flow is

laminar or turbulent. Head loss due to friction can be computed using the Darcy Weishbach

formula, Manning formula and Hazen Williams formula.

3.1 Darcy-Weishbach Equation

According to Science Direct (n.d.), Darcy Weisbach equation is a phenomenological

equation, which relates the head loss or pressure loss due to friction. The equation is named

after Henry Darcy and Julius Weisbach. Darcy’s equation can be used to calculate the energy

loss due to friction in long straight sections of round pipe for both laminar and turbulent

flow. The difference between the two is in the evaluation of the dimensionless friction factor

𝑓 (Mott & Untener, 2015). The formula for Darcy-Weishbach equation is:
𝑓𝐿𝑉 2 (Eq. 3)
ℎ𝑓 =
2𝑔𝐷

where:

𝑓= friction factor

𝐿= length of pipe in inches or meter

𝑉= mean velocity on ft/s or m/s

𝐷= diameter of pipe in inches or meter

• For non-circular pipes, use D=4R, where R is the hydraulic radius which is defined
𝐴
as 𝑅 = 𝑃

• For circular pipes, the head loss maybe expressed as:

𝑓𝐿𝑉 2 𝑄
ℎ𝑓 = 𝑉=

ℎ𝑓 =

The Darcy- Weisbach equation is applicable for both laminar and turbulent flow but they

differ in finding the value of friction factor 𝑓. There are equations that can solved both laminar

and turbulent flow


A. Laminar Flow

• Hagen-Poiseuille equation can be use in solving the head loss due to friction for

laminar flow only. The It has been verified experimentally many times and is valid

only for laminar flow (Mott & Untener, 2015). According to Gilbert-Kawai &

Wittenberg (2014) the Hagen-Poiseuille equation is proposed in 1840 by Gotthilf

Heinrich Ludwig Hagen and Jean Louis Marie Poiseuille.

𝑣 = kinematic viscosity 𝑚2 /𝑠 (refer to table 1)

B. Turbulent Flow

For turbulent flow there many ways to find the friction factor 𝑓. The most common

methods are Colebrook-White equation, Moody Diagram and the Haaland Formula.

1. Colebrook White-equation

The Colebrook–White equation, sometimes referred to simply as the Colebrook

equation is a relationship between the friction factor and the Reynolds number, pipe

roughness, and inside diameter of pipe. The following form of the Colebrook equation is

used to calculate the friction factor in pipelines in turbulent flow (Menon, 2015).

√𝑓 3.7 𝑅𝑒 √𝑓

where:

𝑓– friction factor

D – pipe inside diameter, in

𝜀 – absolute pipe roughness, refer to table 1

𝑅𝑒 – Reynolds number of flows

Source: Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulics by Gillesania


2. Moody Diagram

The Colebrook–White equation was plotted in 1944 by Moody into what is now

called the Moody diagram for pipe friction (see fig. 1). In the moody diagram, the x-axis is the

Reynolds number 𝑅𝑒 , and the ordinate is the friction factor 𝑓. The values of the relative

roughness 𝜀/𝐷 are given on the right at the end of each curve. In order to use this diagram,

it is necessary to know the average surface roughness 𝜀 of the pipe’s wall. Once 𝜀 is known,

then the relative roughness 𝜀/𝐷 and the Reynolds number can be calculated and the friction

factor 𝑓 is determined from the Moody diagram (Mott & Untener, 2015).

3. Haaland formula

According to Deen (2016), the Colebrook equation was slightly modified by

Haaland (1983) to what is called the Haaland formula. Gillesania (2015) states that

Haaland is an alternative formula for Eq. 9. This varies less than 2% from Eq. 9.

3.2 Manning Formula

According to Gillesania (2015), the Manning Formula is one of the best-known open

channel formulas but it can also be used in finding the head loss due to friction. The formula

is given by:

3.3 Hazen Williams Formula

The Hazen Williams formula is widely used in waterworks industry which has

named after Gardner Williams and Allen Hazen (Canute, 2021). This formula is applicable

only to the flow of water in pipes larger than 50 mm (2in) and velocity less than 3m/s. This

formula was designed for flow in both pipes and open channels but is more common used

in pipes (Gillesania, 2015).
