Lab #6) Energy Losses in Bends Background
The energy loss which occurs in a pipe fitting (so-called secondary loss) is commonly expressed in terms of a head loss, ∆H
in metres, in the form:
ΔH
=
K V
2
2
g
[1]
where
K
= loss coefficient, dimensionless
V
= mean velocity of flow into the fitting, m/sec
g
= gravitational acceleration = 9.806 m/s
2
The loss coefficient, K
, is usually determined by lab experiments due to the complexity of flow
in many fittings. For the pipe fitting experiments, the head loss, ∆H
, is calculated from two
manometer readings, H
1
and
H
2 , taken before and after each fitting. K is then determined from
Equation [1] where:
K
=
ΔH
V

When the cross-sectional area of the pipe changes through enlargement or contraction, the
system will experience an additional change in static pressure. This change can be calculated as:

To eliminate the effects of this area change on the measured head losses, Equation [2] should be
added to Equation [1] for the enlargement and the contraction. Notice that ∆H = H
1
– H
2
will be
negative for the enlargement and Equation [2] will be negative for the contraction.

where
V
= velocity of flow into the fitting (for Armfield, it is the velocity of the fluid in the smaller diameter pipe; for Gunt, it is in the larger diameter pipe).
Objective
The objective of this experiment is to determine the loss factors for flow through a range of pipe
fittings including bends, a contraction, and an enlargement.
Equipment
1 hydraulics bench
1 energy losses in bends and fittings apparatus 1 stopwatch
1 thermometer
1 spirit level
clamps for pressure tapping connection tubes
Note
:
For Armfield
apparatus:
Internal diameter of pipework = 0.0183 m
Internal diameter of pipework at enlargement outlet and contraction inlet = 0.0240 m
For Gunt
apparatus:
Internal diameter of pipework = 0.017 m
Internal diameter of pipework at contraction outlet and enlargement inlet = 0.0096 m
Procedure
Measuring Head Losses across all Pipe Fittings on ARMFIELD
apparatus:
1)
Fully open the gate valve.
2)
Adjust the flow from the bench control valve. At a given flow rate, take the height readings
from all the manometers after the levels have steady.
3)
In order to determine the volume flow rate, a timed volume collection method is applied
using the volumetric tank. This is achieved by closing the ball valve and measuring the time
taken to accumulate a known volume of fluid in the tank using a stopwatch. The height of
the water in the tank can be read from the sight glass. (Note
: The measuring time should be
greater than one minute to minimize timing errors.)
4)
Repeat steps 2 and 3 at least five times over a flow range between 8 L/min and 17 L/min. Record all the experimental results using Table 1. Measuring Head losses on GUNT
apparatus
There will be 4 different combinations of bends and fittings. The first combination will be the Elbow, Short Bend, and Long Bend. The second combination will be the Mitre alone. The third combination will be the Contraction alone. And the fourth combination will be the Enlargement alone.
1)
Adjust the flow using the inlet valve, making sure that the manometer levels remain within the tubes. At a given flow rate, record the height readings from all the manometers

b) A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The
overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m, and its student designers hope that it
can travel fully submerged throoh water at 0.440 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at
a temperature, T=15°C, p=999.1 kg/m² and dynamic viscosity, µ = 1.138 x 103 kg/m's.
The design team builds a one-fifth scale moder to test in their university's wind tunnel
(Figure 10). A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the
strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and
at one standard atmosphere pressure having p = 1.184 kg/m³ and µ = 1.849 x 10-$ kg/m's.
Determine the air speed required to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity.
