to 1. 1 INTRODUCTION
Fluid mechanics is that branch of sc ience which deals with the behav iour o f the fluids (liquids or
gases) at rest as well as in motion. Thus this branch of scienl'C deals WiTh the stat ic. kinematics and
dy namic aspecTs of fluids. The study of fluids at rest is called fluid statics. The study of fluids in
Illotion. where pressure forces are not considered. is c all ed tluid kinematics and if the pressure forees
are also considered for the flu ids in motion. that branch of science is callt>d fluid dynamics.
to 1.2 PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS

1.2. 1 Density or Mass Density. DensiTy or mass densi ty of a fluid is defincd as the ratio of the
mass of a fluid TO its volume. Th us mass per unit vo lum e of a Iluid is called density. It is denoted by the
symbol p (rho). The unit of mass density in SI urlit is kg per cubic metre. i.p .• kg/m 3. The density of
liquids ma y be cOrlsidercd as COrlSlant while that of gases changes with th e variation o f pressure and
temperature.
Mathematically. Illass de nsity is wr ill en as
p=
The value of density of water is I gm/crn l or I()()(} kg/m 3.
1.2.2 Specific Weight or Weight Dens ity. Specific weig ht or weight density of a fluid is the
ratio between the weight of a fluid to its volume. Thus weight per unit volume of a fluid is called
weight density and it is denoted by the symbo l w.
Thus mathematically. IV = Weight o f fluid '" ,(,Mc"",co,fcnc'o;cd~);X'i-AC'C"'C""'O"C;OC"7'd"c,c,cQ"g~,c'c'c",-Y

Thus specific vol um e is the rec iprocal of mass density. It is c.'pressed as m' fk g. It is commonly
applied 10 gases.
1.2.4 Specific C;uvity. Specific gravity is defined as the rali o of th e weight densit y (or de nsity)
of a fluid to the weight de nsit y (o r den sity) uf a standard fluid. For liquids. the standard fluid is Taken
water and for gases, th e standard fluid is taken air. Specific gravity is nlso called relntivc dens it y. h is
dimension less quantit y and is de noted by tlie symbol S.

If tlie specific gra vity of a fluid is known. then the density of the fluid will be equal to specific
grav ity of fluid multiplied by tli e density of water. For exa mple. tlie specific gravity o f mercury is 13.6.
hence density of mercury = 13.6 x 1000 = 1]600 kg/ml.

Vis<:osi ly is d efi ned as the property of a fluid whi<:h offers rcsiswnce tu the movement of o ne layer
of fluid over imolhcr adj ace nt layer of ihe fluid. When twO laye rs of a fluid. a dislanl'C 'dy' aparL move
one over the other at different velocities, say u a nd u + du as show n in Fig. 1.1. Ihe viSC(}~ity togclher
wi th relative velocity cause~ a shear stre~s acting between Ihe nuid laye rs.
Th e lOp layer eauses a shear Slress on the
adjace nt lower layer while the lowe r layer causes
a shear stress on th~ adjacent top layer. This shear
stress is propo rtional to the rate of c han ge of ve-
locit y with respec t to y. It is denoted by symbol "

Fluids which obey the above relation arc known as NewtonL'l1i fluids and the fluids which do not
obey tlie above relation arc callcd No n-Newto nia n fluids.
1. 3.4 Variation of Viscosity with Temperature . Temperature affects the viscosity. The
viscosity of liquids dcneasc s with Ihe increase of tcmpcrmurc while Ihe viscosity of gases inncascs
with the increase of tempermure. This is duc to reason that Ihe viscous forces in a fluid arc duc to
cohesive forces and molecular momentum lransfcr. In liquids. the cOhesive forces predominates
the Illolccular 1110111cn lurn lraJlskr, duc 10 closely packed Illolcculcs and with Ih e increase in
temperature. Ihe cohesive forces decreases wilh the resuh o f decreasing viscosity. Bul in case of
gas.cs the cohesive forces arc small and molecular momentum transfer predominaks. With the
increase in tempera ture, molecular fllom<"nturn transfer increases and h<"nce vis.cosily increases. The
relation between viscosity and temperatu re for liquid.~ and g ases are:

Equation (I.4B) shows that with the increase o f temperature. the viscosity increases.
1.3 . S Types of Fluids. The fluids may be classified into the following five types:
I. Ideal nuid. 1. Real fluid.
3. Newtonian fluid. 4. Non -New tonian fluid. and
5. Ideal plastic fluid.
I. Id"al Fluid. A fluid, whic h is ;ncorll pr<"ssiblc and is
having no I'is.cosily. is known as an ideal fluid. Id~al fluid is
only an imaginary nuid as all the nuids. which exis!. ha ve
some viscosity.
2. R"nl Fluid. A fluid. whic h possesses viscos il y. is
known as real nuid. All lhe nuids. in aClual practice, are real
fluids.
3. Ne wtonlun )<' Iuld . A real fluid. in which lhe shear
stress is direc tly proportional to the rate of shear strain (or
1 IDEAL FLUtD
velocity gradient). is know n as a Newtonian nuid.

- VELOCITY GRADIENT (~~)
4. Non -Newtonian Fluid . A real fluid. in whic h the
Fig . 1.2 Typt$ of flm·d$ .
shear stress is not proportional tu the r:lte of shear strain (or
velocity gradient), known as a Non-Newtonian nuid.
5. Ideal Plastic Fluid . A fluid. in which she ar st ress is more than the yield value and shear
stress is propor1ional to the rate of shear strain (or velocity gmdient), is known as ideal plastic fluid.

... 1.6 SURFACE TENSION AND CAPILLARITY
Surface tension is defmed as the te nsile force acting on the su rface of a liquid in contact with a gas
or on the surfal:c between twO immis.:iblc liquids such that the contact surfa"c behaves like a
membrane unde r tension. The I1wgnitudc of this force per uni t icngth of Ih.: free surface will have the
same val ue as the surface energy per unil area. It is denoted by Greek Idlef 0 (calkd sigma). In M KS
units. it is cxprcs~d as kgflm while in SI uniLs as N/m.
The phenomenon of surface tension is explained by
Fig. 1.10. CO rl sider three mol~cules A, ll. C of a liquid in a
mass of liquid. The molec u le A is allmcled in all directions
~'{jually by the surrounding molecules of Ihe liquid. Th us the
resultant force actirlg on the molecule A is zero. But the
molecule IJ. which is situat~d ncar the free surface. is acted
upon by upward and downward forces which arc unbalanced.
Thus a net result.1r1t fo rce on molec u le II is acting in the
downward direction. The molecule C. situated on the free
-- - -- - ----------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-
su rfa.:e of liquid. does experience a resultalll downward force.

Fig. 1.10 S"r/au unsion.
All the molecules on the free surface experience a downward
force. Thus the free surfa.:e of the liquid acts like a very thin film under tension of the surface of the
liquid act as though it is an elastic membrane under tension.

.. 1.7 VAPOUR PRESSURE AND CAVITATION

A cbange from Ih e liquid slale to lhe gaseous Slale is know n as vaporiza tio n. The vaporization
(whkl! depends upon lhe prev ail ing pressure and temperature C{)udition) occurs because of continuous
escapinll of lhe molecules lh rough llie free liquid surfac".
Consider a liquid (say waler) whic h is confined in a c losed vesse l. Lellhe temperature of liquid is
20°C and pre.'\S urc i~ atmospheric. This liquid will "aporise at JOO°c. When vaporization lakes place.
Ihe molecules escapes from Ihe free surface of Ihe liquid. These vapour molecules ge t accumulated in
Ihe space between th e free liquid s urface and top of the vessel. These accumula ted vapou rs exen a
pressure on Ihe liquid su rface. This pressure is know n 3S vapo u r press u ~ of the liqu id or This is Ihe
pressure al wh ich Ihe li quid is convened into vapours.
Agai n \'onside r the same liqu id al 20°C at almosphe ric pressure in the c losed vessel. If the pressur"
above th e liquid surface is reduced by so me means. the boi ling Temperature will also reduce. If Ihe
pressure is reduced to such an exten t that it bccotnes equal to or less than the vapour pressure. Ihe
boil in g of the liqu id wi ll stan. Though th e temperature of the liquid is 20°e. Thus a liquid may boil
even at onlinary lcnlperature. if the pressure above the liquid surface is reduced ,' \0 as to h.: equal or
less than the vapou r pressur~ of the liquid m that tempe rature.
Now consid~r a flowing liquid in a syste m. If The pressure at any point in this flowing liqu id becomes
equal to or less Ihan the vapour pressu re, th~ vapori za tion of Ih e liquid starts. The bubbles of these
vapouT5 arc carr ied by the flowing liquid into th e region of high pressure where they collapse. giving
risc to high impact pressure. The pressure developed by the collapsing bubbles is so high that the
material from The adjoining boundaries geTS eroded and c aviTi es are formed on them. This phenomenon
is kno wn as ( " ,·lIalioll.
Hence the cav itat ion is the phenomenon of fornwtion of vapo ur bubbles of a flowing liquid in a
region where Ihe pressure of the liquid falls be low the vapour press ure and sudde n co llapsing of Ihese
vapour bubbles in ~ region o f higher pressure. When Ih e v;lpour bubbles collnpsc, n very high pressure
is created. The metallic surfaces. above which the liquid is flowing. is subjeCTed to these high pressures.
which c~usc pilling action on the surfnce. Thus cavi ti es arc fonned on th~ metallic surface ~nd hence
the name is cav itati on.

... 1.2 TOTAL PRESSURE AND CENTRE OF PRESSURE

Total pressure is defined as Ihe force exerted by a sta ti c fluid on a surface either plalle or curved
when the fluid comes in contact with the surfaces. This force always acts nonnal to th~ surface.
Ce nt re o r pressu re is defined as the point of application o f the total pressure on the surf~ce. There
are four ,",~ses of su bmerged surfaces on which the total pressure force and ,",entre of pressure is to be
dctemlined. The submerged surfa,",es m,ty be :
I. Venical plane surface.
2. Horizontal plane surface.
3. Inclined plane surface, and
4. CUfved surface .
... 1.1 VERTICAL PLANE SURFACE SUBMERGED IN LIQUID

Consider a plane venical surface of arbitrary shape immersed in a liquid as show ll in Fig. 3.1.

In c hapl ers 2 and 3 . the containers which co ntains liquids. arc assumed to be at resl. Hence the
liquids are also at res!. They arc in st:uic cquilibri ulll wilh respecI to con lainas. Bul if Ih e container

part icles and bound ari es o f Ihe conta in er . The liquid w ill tak.e up a new position under th e effect of
acceleration imparted to ils con tainer. T he liqu id will come \0 rest in this neW position rda tive 10 \ll<)
container. Th e en li re nu id ma ss moves as a si ng le unit. Since the liqu id aFter anainin g a new position
is in sta tic condi tion relative to the cOlllainer. the laws o f hydrostatic can be applied to determine the
liquid pressure. As there is no re lat ive motion between the liquid panicles. hence the shear stresses and
shear forces be tween liquid panicles will be zero. T he pressure will be normal to th e surface in co ntact
with the liqu id.
The following are the important c ases under consideration:
(i) Liquid (.'Ontainers subject to constant horizontal accele ration.
(i,) Liquid cont ain ers subjl'ct to ronstant vertical acceleration.

is horizontal. Let this tank is moving with a ronstant accelerat ion 'n' in the horizo nta l direction towards

surface of liqu id due to horizo ntal acceleration wi ll become a downward slopi ng inclined plan". with
the liquid ri sing at the back end. the liqu id fallin g at the front end . The equation for the free liqu id

where P, == P - 1'0 == gauge pressure
In equation (3.22) p. g and a are constant. Hence variation of gu~ge pressure is linear. Also when
h == 0.1'8 == O. This means P - Po == 0 or I' = Po' Hence when II == O. the pressure is equa l to atmospheric
pressure. Hence free surface of liquid subject~d to constant venical acceleration wi ll be horizon tal.
From equation (3.22A) it is also c lear that the pressu re at any poi nt in the liquid mass is greater than
the hydrostatic pressure (hydrostatic pressure is = pgil) by an amount of p x II x a.
rig. 3.49 shows the variation o f pressure for the liquid mass subjected to a constant vertical upward
acceleration.
If the tank containing liquid is mo ving vertica ll y downward with a constant acceleration. then the
gauge pressure at any point in the liquid at a depth of II from the free surface will be given by
(P-Po)=pgh[ I-~] =pgh-Pha ... (3.23) ,fo
The above equation shows that the pressure at any

point in the liquid mass is less than the hydrostatic pres-
sure by an ~mount of plla. Fig. 3.50 shows the variation
of pressure for the liquid mass subjected to a constant
vertical dow nward acceleration.
If the wnk cunt aini ng liquid is moving downw ard with

Fig. 4.6 (0) shows the position of a noming body in equilibrium. The location of centre of gravity
and centre of buoyallcy in Ihis position is al G and 8. The floming body is given a small angu lar
displacement in the clocl;wisc direction. Tliis is shown in Fig. 4.6 (b). The new centre of buoyancy is
al 8 1" The vcnica l linc through 8 1 cuts Ihe normal ax is at M. Hence M is the meta-centre and GM is

A. KIN EMATICS OF flOW
~ S.I INTRODUCTION
Kinematics is dctincd as that branch of sc ience whic h deals with motion of particles without
co nsidering the forces causing the motion. The ve locit y at any point in a flow field at an y till1~ is
studied in this brandt of fluid ll1~chanics. Once the velocity is known. (h e n the pressure distri bution
and hence forces ac tin g on the fluid can be dClemlincd. In this <:hapter. the methods of determining
velocity and acceleration arc discussed .
.. S .2 METHODS OF DESCRIBING flUID MOTION
The fluid motion is described by two methods. The y arc - (i) Lagrangian Method. and (ii) Eulerian
Method. In the Lagrangian method. a sin gle fluid particle is followed during its nlO1ion and its
yelocity. acceicration, density. clc .• ilre described . In case of Eulerian melhod. lhe velocily. ilccelera-
tion. prcssure. dens it y etc .. arc described ,,( n point in flow field. The Eulerian method is common ly
used in fluid mechanics .
II> S.l TYPES OF FLUID FLOW
The fluid flow is classified as:

(i ) Sleady and unsteady flows:
(ii) Un ifo rm and non·uniform flows:
(iii ) Lami nar and turbulent flows;
(i v) Comp ressible and in compressible flows:
(v ) Rotational and irrOlationaJ flows; and
(ri ) One. two and thrt,e -dimensional flows.
S.l . I Steady and Un steady FloW5. Steady flow iSdefi lled as thilttypc of flow in which the fluid
charac teristics Ii!;e ve loc ity. pressure. density. etc.. at a point do not change with time. T hlls for

5. 3. 2 Uniform and Non -uniform Flows. Uniform flow is dcfillcd as lhal lyPl' of flow in
which Ih~ velocity at an y given time does nOI cllange with respect 10 space (i.e .• length of di~ct ion of
the flow ). Mathematically. for uniform flow

Non-uniform flow is lhal type of flow in which the veloci ty al any given time ctl311gCS with respect

5. 3. 3 Laminar and Turbulent Flows. Laminar flow is defined as that type of flow in whieh
the fluid panicles move along we ll·deflned paths or stream line and all the stream-lines arc straight and
parallel. Thus the panicles move in laminas or layers gliding smooth ly over the adj acent layer. This
type of Ilow is also called stream-line Ilow or viscous flow.
Turbulent now is that type of flow in which the fluid panicles move in a zig-zag way. Due to the
movement of fluid particles in a zig-zag way. the eddies fonnation takes place which arc responsible
VD
for high energy loss. For a pipe flow. the type of flow is determined by a non-dimensional number-
called the Reynold number. "

where D = Diamckr of pipe
V = Mean vcioci ty of now in pipe
and t' = Kinematic viscosity of fluid.
If the Reynold number is less than 2000. the now is calkd laminar. If th~ Reynold number is more
thaI14000. it is called turbulent now . Irthe Reynold number lies between 2000 and 4()()().thc now may
be laminar or turbul~nt.
5.3.4 Compressible and Incompressible Flows. Co mpressible flow is that type of flow in
which the density of the fluid c hanges from point \0 point o r in other words the densit y (p) is not
constant for the fluid. Thus, math~matically, for compressible flow
p ... Constant
Incompressible flow is that type of flow in which the density is constant for the fluid flow. Liquids
arc generally incompressible while gases arc compressi ble. Mathematically. for incompressible flow

fluid panicles wll ile flowing along stream-lines. also rolate about thcir own axis. And if the fluid
panicles white flowi llg along stream-li nes, do not rotale abou t their own axis then ttJallypc of flow is
"ailed irrotational flow.
5.3.6 One- , Two- ilnd Three- Dimensional Flows. Onc·dirn cnskmlll n ow is thai lyp" of
flow in which Ihe flow parameter such as ve locity is a function of lime a nd One space co-ordinate on ly_
say.T. For a steady one-dimensional flow. the I'doc ity is a func tion of onc-spacc-co-ordinatc only. The
variation of veloc itie s in ol her 1WO mutually perpendicular directions is assumed negligible. H ence
mathematically. for one-dimensional flow
II =j(x).,·= Oand w= 0
where 11_ V and W <Ire velocity components in x. y ,lnd z directions respe\:tively.

Two-dim e ... ion a l n ow is thaI type of flow in which the veloci ty is a function of time and two
r~ctangular space co-ordinates say x and y. For a steady two - dimen~iOllal flow the ve locit y is a func lion
of IWO space C{}-ordinales only. The variation of veloci ly in the third dircction is negligihle. Thus.
mathematically for two-dimensional flow
II = f,( .... y ). v = f 2(x. y) and w :: O.
Th ~ _dimcn sional fl nw is that Iype of flow in which the veloci ty is a function of time and th ree
mutually perpemlkular diredions. BUI for a sle:,dy three-dimensional flow the fluid p<trameten; arc

.. 5.4 RATE OF FLOW OR DISCHARGE (Q)
It is delined as the quanti ly of a fluid flowing per second through a seclion of a pipe or a chanrlCl.
For an incom pressib le fluid (or liquid) Ihe rale of flow or discharge is expres.scd as the vo lum e of fluid
flowing across the s.cclion per second. For compressibl e fluids. Ihe rale o f flow is usually expressed as
the we ight of fluid flowing across Ihc section . Thus
(i) For liquids Ihe uni ls of Q arc mJfs or iilres/s
(ii) For gascs the uni ls of Q is kgffs or Newtonfs
Consider a liquid flowing through a pipe in which

V:: Average ve loc it y of fluid a(;fOSS the section
Then discharge Q= A xY. ...(5.1 )
.. S .S CONTINUITY EQUATION
The eq uat ion based on Ihe principle of conservation o f mass is called contin uit y eq uati on. Thus for
a fluid flow in g through th e pipe at all the cross-sectiun. the quantity of fluid per secund is constant.

S. IO.2 free Vortex flow. When no cx tcmal torq ue is required to rotate the fluid mass. that
type of flow is call ed free vortex flow. Thus the liquid in case of free vonex is rotating due to the
rotation which is imparted to the fluid prev iously.
Examp les of the free \'onex flow are :
I. Flow of liquid through a ho le provided at the OOllom of a contai ner.
2 . Fl ow of liquid around a c ircular bend in a pipe.
3. A whirlpool in a river.
4. Fl ow of fluid in a cent rifuga l pump casing.

The above equation shows that with th¢ increase of r. the radial velocity dec re3S<:s. And at a large
distance away from the source. the veloc it y will be approximately equal to zero. The flow is in radial
direction. hence the tangenTial velocity,,& = O.
li:t us now find the equation of stream function and velocity potenTi,tl function for the source flow .
As in this case. /Ie '" O. the equation of stream funct ion and velocity potential function will be obtained

Consider a strcam-lin<l in which flow i s takin g place in s-d ircction as sltown in Fig. 6.1. Consider a
cylindrical clcrncllt of cross-section <fA and length lis. The forces acti ng on the cy lindrical clement arc:

2. Pressure force (p + ~ dS) dA opposite 10 Ihe direction of flow.

3. Weight of clement pgdAds.
Let e is the angle between the d irect ion of flow and the line of action of the weig ht of clement.

A notch is a device used for measuring Ihe rate of flow of a liquid through a small chan nel or a
tank. It may be del1ned as an opening in the side of a tank or a sm all ehannel in sueh a way that the
liquid surface in the tan k or channel is below the tOp edge of the opening.
A weir is a concrete or m3!\onary structure, placed in an open channel over which the flow occurs.
It is generally in the form of ven ic~1 wall. with a sharp edge at the tOp. running all the way across the
open dannel. The notch is of small size while the weir isof a bigger size. The notch is generally made
of metallic plate whi Ie wei r is Illade of concrete or masonary structure.
I. Na p pe o r Vein. The sheet of water flowing through a notch or over a weir is called Nappe or Vein.
2. C res t or Sill. The bottom edge of a notch or a top of a weir over which the water flows. is known
as the sill or crest.

II. triangular notch or weir is preferred to a rectangular weir or notch due to following reasons:
I. The expression for discharge for a right-angled V-notch or weir is very simple.
2. For rnc~suring low disdargc. a tri;mgu)ar notch givcs 1110re a<.:curate results th~n a rectangular

~ 9.S POWER ABSORBED IN VISCOUS FLOW
For the lubrication of the machine pans. an oil is used. A ow of oil in bearings is an example of
viscous now. u a highly viscous ~i1 is used for lubrication of bearings. it will offer great resistance and
thus a grealCr power loss will take place. But if a light oil is used, a required film between the rotating
pan and stationary metal surface will not be possible. Hence. the wear of the two surface will take place.
Hence an oil of correct viscosity should be used for lubrication. The power required 10 overcome the
viscous resistance in the following cases wiU be detennincd :
I . Viscous resistance of Journal Bearings.
2. Viscous resistance ofFoot·step Bearings.
3. Viscous resistance of Collar Bearings.
9.5.1 Viscous Resistance of Journal Bearings. Consider a shaft of diameter D rolating in a
journal bearing. The clearance between the shaft andjoumal bearing is filled with a viscous oil. The oil
film in contact with the shaft rotates as the same speed as that of shaft while the oil film in contact with
journal bearing is stationary. Thus the viscous resistance will be offered by the oil to the rotating shaft.
Let N = speed of shaft in r.p.m.

A spherical ball ofsrnall di~mclcr 'd' is r!;lccd un the surfa!;c of liquid. Provision is made to rele~sc
this ball. After a shon distance of travel. the ball attains a constant velocity. The time to travel a
known vertical distancc betwecn two fixed marks on the cylindrical tank is noted to calculate the

calculated by using equation (9.26).
9.S.3 Rotating Cyli nder Method. This method TORStONAL
consists of two ,-,oncentri\: cylinders of r~dii R, and R2 as .- SPRtNG
show n in Fig. 9.16. The narrow space between the two ""~b,.,j§i,,,,;;'POINTER
cylinders is filled with the liquid whose viscosity is to be
determ incd. The inner cy linder is he Id stationary by means
of a tors ional spring while outer cylinder is rotaled at con- VISCOUS
stant angular speed (I). The torque T acting on lhe in ner LIQUID (>I)
,-,ylinder is measured by 'he torsional spring. The torque on
the inner cylinder must be equal and opposite to the torque
app lied on the outer cylinde r.
The to rque applied on the outer ,-,ylinder is due to
viscous resistance provided by liquid in the annular space
and at the bottom of the inner cylinder. w
Let OJ = angular speed of outer ,-,ylinder.

Tangential velocity of liquid layer in ,-,onwct with outer cylinder will be equ al to the tange ntial

The laminar now has been discussed in chapter 9. In laminar flow the fluid panicles move along
straight parallel palh in layers or lam in ae. such that the paths of individual fluid panicles do nO! cross
those of neighbouring panicles. Laminar flow is possible only at low velocities and when the fluid is
highly viscous. But when the velocity is increased or nuid is less viscous. the fluid panicles do nO!
move in straight paths. The fluid panicles move in random manner resuhing in genera l mixing of the
part icles. This type of flow is called IlImu Jcm flow.
1\ laminar flow changes!O turbulent flow when (I) veloc ity is increased Of UI) diameter of a pipe is
inc reased or (iii) the vi_'\Cosily of fluid is decrea_"",d. O. Reynold was fiut to demon~trate that the
transition from laminar to IlImuJcnt depends nOt on ly on the mean velocity but on the quantity pVD .
This quanlity p m is a dimen~ionlessquantity and is called Reynold~ number (R, ). "

In ca.<;£! of circular
"
pip'" if R, < 2000 the now is said to be laminar and if R, > 4000. the flow is said to be turbule nt. If
H, lies betwccn 2000 10 4000. the flow changes from la minar 10 tu rbulen t .

In case of turbulent flow, the (Otal shear stress at .my point is the sum uf viscuus shear suess and

can be assumed that the shear stress in turbulent flow is given by equa lion ( 10.12). From this equation.

For turbulent flow analysis along a boundary, the flow is divided in two runions. The first rurtion
consists of a thin layer of fluid in th e itnm",diate ndghbourhood of the boundary. where viscous shear
stress predominates whi l", the shear st ress due to turbulence is negligihle. This run ion is known as
laminar sub- la yer. The height upto which the effect of viscosity predominates in this zone is denot~d
by /)'. T he second portion of flow. where shear stress due 10 turbulence arc large as compared to
viscous stress is ~nown as turbulent zone.
If the average height k of the irregularities. projecting from the surface of a boundary is much less
than 0'. the thic kness of laminar sub -layer as shown in Fig. 10.4 (a). the boundary is "ailed smoot h
boundary. This is because. outside the laminar sub-layer the flow is turbulent a nd eddies of various
size present in turbulent flow try to penetrate the lamimlr sub-layer and reach the su rfac e of Ihe
boundary. BUI due to greal thickn ess o f lamin ar sub-laye r Ihe eddies arc unable to reach the s urfa"e
irregularities and hence the boundary behaves as a smoot h boundary. This type of boundary is called
hydrodyn:llni"ally smoot h boundary.
Now, if the Reynolds number of the flow is increased the n Ihe Ihidnes~ of laminar sub-la yer will

because the irr"'gu larities of Ihe surface arc above th '" laminar sub- laye r and the eddies prt'scnt in

to I 1. 1 INTRODUCTION
In chapters 9 and 10. la minar flow and turbulent flow have ~"n discussed. We have ..;;cen lilat when
th" Reynolds number is less than 2000 for pipe flow. the flnw is known as laminar flow whereas when
the Reyno lds number is more than 4000. the flow is known ;IS turbulent flow. In this chapter. 1he
lUrbulent flow of fluids through pipes running full will be considered. If 1he pipes are panially full as in
the case of sewer lines. the pressure inside the pipe is same and equ:1110 atmospheric pressure. Then the
flow of fluid in the pipe is not under pressure. This case will be taken in the chapter of flow o f water
through open channels. Here we will consider flow of fluids 1hrough pipes under pressure only.

... 11.4 MINOR ENERGY (HEAD) LOSSES

The loss of h ~ad or energy due to frictioll in a pip.: is !;nown as major loss while the loss of energy
due to change of vdocil y of the following nuid in magnitude or directio n is c all ed minor loss of
energy. The minor loss of energy (or head) includes th e following C3.'>eS:
I . L oss of head d ue 10 sudden l-nlargcrncn t.
2. Loss of he ad due to sudden contraction .
3 . Loss of head at the clltrancc of a pipe.
4. Loss of head at the exit of a pipe.
5. Loss of head due to an obstruetiun in a pipe.
6. Loss of he~d duc to bend in th e pipe.
7. Loss of he ad in various pipe fittings.
In (;asc of long pipe the above losses are small as compared with the loss of head due to fri(;t ion and
hen(;e they are called minor losses and even may be neglected with out seriuus e rror. But in casc of a
short pipe. these losses arc comparable with the loss of head due to friction.

The concept of hydraulic gradien! line and total energy line is very us.cful in the siudy of flow of
fluids through pipes. They 3fC defined as:
[1 .5 . 1 Hydr;Julic Gradient Line. h is defined as the line which gives the sum uf pressure head
( ~ ) and datum head (2) of a flowing fluid in a pipe with respect to some reference line or it is the line
which is obtained by joining the lOp of all venical ordinates. showing the pressure head (plw) of a
flowing fluid in a pip<! from the centre of the pipe. It is briefly wriucn as H.G.L. (Hydraulic Gradient
Line).
I 1.5 .2 Total Energy Line . II is defined as the line which gives the sum of pressure head. datum
head and kinetic head o f a flowing fluid in a pipe with respect to some referen~ line. II is also dernwd as
the tine which is obtained by joining the tops of aU I'ertical ordinates showing the sum ofpressurc head
and kinetic head from the centre of the pipe. It is briefly written as TEL. (Total Energy Line).

Syphon is a long ben! pipe which is llscd to transfer liquid from a reservoir al a higher elevation to
another reservoir a1 a lowe r level wilen the (WO reservoirs arc separated by a hill or high level ground
as show n in Fig. I [.1 J.
:;;:C;:;:;~ SUMMIT

----- ,
Fig. 11.13
The point C which is at the highest of the syphon is called the summit. As the point C is above the free
surface of the water in the tan~ A, the pressure 3t C will be less than atmospheric pressure. Theoretically.
the pressure at C may be r~-duccd to - 10.3 III of water but in actual pra~1ice this pressure is unly - 7.6 III
of water or 10.3 - 7.6 = 2.7 10 of water absolutc. If the prcssure at C be~'Qllles less tl1:ln 2.7 III of water
absolute , the dissolved ai r and other gases would eomc out from water and ~"OlIcct at the summi t. The
flow uf W3ler will be obstructed. Syphon is used in the fullowing cases:
!. To carry water from one reservoir tu another reservoi r sepa rmed by a hill or ridge.
2. To t:lke out the liquid from ~ tank which is not having nny outlet.
3. To cmpty n channel nOl provided with nny outlet s luice.

When th ree or more reservoi rs are connec ted by meanS of pipes. baving one or more junctions. tbe
syste m is called a branclling pipt) system. Fig. 11.26 sbows tllrcc reservoirs at different levels con-
nected to a single junctiOll. by means of pipes whicll arc called brallc bcd pipt)s. Tile lengtlls. diameters
and co-efficient of friction of eacb pipes is given. It is required to find the disellarge alld direction of
now in eacll pipe. Tile basic equations used for solving sucll problems arc:
!. Conti nuity equatlol1 whicb means tbe il1f1ow of fluid at tile jUl1ctiol1 should be equal to tbe
outflow of fluid.
2. Uerno lllll's .,quutJon. " nd
3. Darcy-Welsbach equ;.\lo l1
Also it is assumed tbat reservoirs are very large and tile water surface levels ill the rese rvoirs arc
constant so that steady conditions exist in tile pipes. Also minor losses arc assumed very smull. The
flow from reservoir A takes place to junction D. Tile flow from junction D is lowards reservo irs C.
Now the now from jUllction D lowards reservoir B will wke place only when piezometric head al D
( WhiCh is equ al to ~; + Zn ) is mOre than the piezometric lIead at B (i.e .• ZIJ). Let us consi der that flow

... 11 . 14 PIPE NETWORK
A pipe network: is an imc rcon nCl1cd system o f pipes funning several loops or cin: ui[s. T he pipe
netwurk is s hown in Fig. 11.33. The examp les of suell networks of pipes arc the municipal wa ter
distribution systems in cities and labormury suppl y syste m. In such syste m, it is requin-d to determine
the distribution of flow through the various pipes of th e network. The follow in g are the necessary
cond itions for any network of pipes:
(,) The flow into eac h junction must be equa l to the flow o ut of th e junction. This is due to
con tinui ty eq uati on.
(ii) The a lgeb ra ic sum of head losses round each loop must be zero. This mea ns that in each loop.
the loss of head due to flow in cloc kwise direction must be equa l to the loss of he ad due 10 flow in
anticlockwisc direction.
(iii) T he head loss in each pipe is expressed as hJ ==rQ". The value of r d~pends upon th~ leng th of
pipe. diam eter of pipe and co-cfficient of fri ction o f pipe. The va lue of II for turbulent fl ow is 2. We
know that.

This head loss will be positive. when the pipe is a part of loop and the now in the pipe is clockwise.
Generally. the pipe network problems arc: difficult to solve analytically. Hence the methods of
successive approximations are used. ' Hardy Cross Method' is one such method which is common ly
used.
I 1. 14. 1 Hardy Cross Method. The procedure for Hardy Cross Method is as follows :
I . In this method a trial diSiribution of disc harges is made arbitrarily but in such a way that
conti nuity equation is satisfi ed at each function (or node).
2. With the assumed values orQ, me head loss in each pipe is calculated according to equation ( 11 .39).
3. Now consider any loop (or circuits). The algebraic sum of head losses round each loop must be
zero. Th is means that in each loop, the loss of head due to flow in clockwise direction must be equal
10 the loss of head due to fl ow in anliclockwise direction .
4 . Now calculate the nel head loss around each loop considering the head loss to be positive in
clockwise fl ow Ilnd to be negative in anticlockwise flow .
If the net head loss due to a.'isumed values of Q round the loop is zero, then the assumed values
or Q in that loop is correct. But if the nel head loss due to assu med "alues of Q is not zero. then the
assumed values of Q are corrected by introducing It correction 6Q for the flows. till thc circuit is
balanced.
The correction factor 6Q· is obtained by
dQ- - ~> a; ... ( 11.40)

- L,rn Q; -I
For turbulent flow. lhe value of n = 2 and hence above correction factor becomes as
- L ,QJ
dQ= ~ ... ( 11.41 )
.... 2'0.
5. If the value of 6Q comes out to be positive. then it should be added to the flows in the clock·
wise direction C'; the flows in clockwise direction in a loops nt"e considered positive) and subtracted
from the flows in the anticlockwise direction.
6. Some pipes may be common to two circuits (or two loops). then the two corrections are
applied to these pi pes .
• L.e:t for any pipe Qo = assumw discharge and Q = correct discharge. then
Q=Qo+dQ
: . Head loSJ forthr pipe. h,- nr=r(Qo+tJ.Q)2.
