Tutorial 1 – Brief Review
2 Types of flow: Laminar and Turbulent
Laminar: Low velocity and particles move along smooth paths
Turbulent: High velocity and particles move in random paths
Remainder:
Friction loss:
, where λ is the friction factor
Local head loss:
, where kL is head loss coefficient
Some example of typical kL values for different items:
Thus, total head loss is:
Energy loss
Velocity
