Bernoulli Equation
Recall fluid mechanics course, the Bernoulli equation is:
P1 v12 P2 v22
+ + z1 = + + z2 hP + hT + hL
g 2g g 2g
Here, we want to study how to calculate the total losses( hL ):
hL = Major Losses + Minor Losses
Major Losses
Occurs mainly due to the pipe friction and viscous dissipation in the flowing
water.
The major head loss is termed by(hf ).
For turbulent flow (Re > 4000) the friction factor can be founded by Moody
diagram.
To use Moody diagram you need the followings:
The Reynolds number: Re
e
The relative roughness:
D
Reynolds Number: Re
VD VD
Re = but = R e =
= dynamic viscosity (Pa. s) or kg/m. s
= kinemaic viscosty (m2 /)
V = mean velocity in the pipe
D = pipe diameter
Note:
Kinematic viscosity depends on the fluid temperature and can be calculated
from the following formula:
497 106
= T: is fluid temperature in Celsius
(T + 42.5)1.5
Relative Roughness:
e(mm) = Roughness height (internal roughness of the pipe)
and it depends mainly on the pipe material.
Table (3.1) in slides of Dr.Khalil shows the value of e for different pipe
materials.

Minor Losses
Occurs due to the change of the velocity of the flowing fluid in the
magnitude or in the direction.
So, the minor losses at:
Valves.
Tees.
Bends.
Contraction and Expansion.
The minor losses are termed by(hm ) and have a common form:
V2
hm = K L

K L = minor losses coefficient and it depends on the type of fitting

Solution
a) Direction of flow??
To know the direction of flow, we calculate the total head at each point, and
then the fluid will moves from the higher head to lower head.
Assume the datum is at point A:
Total head at point A:

Solve the problem in the following two cases:
a) The valve (V) is closed.
b) The valve (V) is opened with K= 5
Solution
Case (a): Valve is closed
When the valve is closed, no water will flowing in pipe B because the valve
prevents water to pass through the pipe. Thus the water will flowing
throughout pipe A and pipe C (in series) and the system will be as follows:

Now, you can solve the problem as any problem (Pipes in series).
And if you are given the losses of the enlargement take it, if not, neglect it.
Case (b): Valve is Open
Here the solution procedures will be exactly the same as problem (1) >>
water will flow through pipe A and B and C, and pipes A and B are parallel

Firstly, from the given flows, we calculate the initial flow in each pipe and
the direction of flow through these pipes using continuity equation at each

Note that, we dont correct pipe BD because is associated with the two

Now, to calculate Q new for pipe BD, we calculate the associated value for
correction:
Q new,BD = Q initial,loop(1) + (loop(1) loop(2) )
Q new,BD = +0.05 + (0.025 0.005) = +0.02m3 /s
Or:
Q new,BD = Q initial,loop(2) + (loop(2) loop(1) )
Q new,BD = 0.05 + (0.005 (0.025)) = 0.02 m3 /s
Now, we put the corrected flow rate on each pipe of the network:

The figure below shows a portion of a pump and pipe system. The 30-m long pipeline
connecting the reservoir to the pump is 1m in diameter with friction factor f = 0.02. For
the pump, the required net positive suction head (NPSHR ) is 2 m.

A pump is required to supply water to an elevated tank through a 0.2m
diameter pipe which is 300m long and has a friction factor f equal to 0.025.
Minor losses causes an additional head loss of 4V2/2g where V is the
velocity in the pipe in m/s. The static head between the pump wet well and
the elevated tank is 40 m. The relationship between head, H, and flow, Q,
for the pump is given by the following equation:
H= 50 - 600Q2
Where Q in m3/s and H in meters.
a) under these conditions determine the flow in the pipeline
b) if the maximum efficiency of the pump is achieved when the flow is 70
/s then how could the system be redesigned so that the pump would operate
at this efficiency.
Solution
Pump Curve Equation is: H= 50 - 600Q2 and since Q in m3/s we calculate
the head at the following values of Q as shown in the following table:

8 0.025 300Q2
hL = 2 5
+ 206.7Q2 = 2143.26Q2
9.81 0.2
So, the following equation is for system curve:
H = 40 + 2143.26Q2
Now, we calculate the head at the same values of Q (in pump curve) as
shown in the following table:
Q (m3/s) 0 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.25
H (m) 40.0 45.4 61.4 88.2 125.7 174.0
Now, we draw the pump curve and the system curve, and the point of
intersection between the two curves is the operating point:
As shown in figure above, the pump flow rate is 0.06 m3/s (60 /s) and the
pump head is 49m.

For the shown figure below, (a) what is the operation point for the system
that shown in the figure below, the pump characteristics curve is given
below (Assume f = 0.014), (b) If the efficiency of the system is 80%, what is
the power required?, (c) What is the operation point in case of two identical
pumps in parallel?
Page (42) Dr.Khalil Al-astal Eng. Ahmed Al-Agha Eng. Ruba Awad
Hydraulics Pumps
Solution
a)
The pump curve is given as shown above, now we want to find the system
curve. So firstly we find the system curve equation:
By applying Bernoulli equation between the two reservoir, the equation will
be:
H = HStatic + hL
HStatic = 3.5 + 15 10 = 8.5 m
hL = hf + hm
8fLQ2
hL = 2 5 + h m
gD

hm = (0.4 + 0.9 + 1) = 2.3 ,

but A = D2 = 0.22 = 0.0314 hm =118.9Q2
4 4
H = 8.5 + 1619Q2
Page (43) Dr.Khalil Al-astal Eng. Ahmed Al-Agha Eng. Ruba Awad
Hydraulics Pumps
But, in this equation Q is in m3/s and the horizontal axis in the given graph is
in m3/min., so each value on the graph must be divided by 60 (to transform
to m3/s) and then we draw the system curve on the same graph as following:
The value of pump flow (at the operation point) is 3 m3/min = 0.05 m3/s.
The value of pump head (at the operation point) is 12.55 m .
b)
QH 9810 0.05 12.55
= Pin = = 7694.7 watt.
Pin 0.8
c)
When we use two pumps in parallel, the system curve will never change, but
the pump curve will change (The values of head remains constant but the
values of Q multiplied by 2), so we draw the new pump curve by
multiplying each value of Q by 2 at each head as following:
Page (44) Dr.Khalil Al-astal Eng. Ahmed Al-Agha Eng. Ruba Awad
Hydraulics Pumps
So the new value of Q is 4.1 m3/min = 0.0683 m3/s and the new value of H is
16m .
