From laminar theory to turbulent flow—calculate losses, design pipe systems, and master flow measurement.
What you'll learn
✓ Analyze fully developed laminar pipe flow, derive the parabolic velocity profile, and apply Poiseuille's law to calculate pressure drops and flowrates
✓ Explore the complex nature of turbulent flow, including velocity fluctuations, Reynolds stress, viscous sublayer, and the logarithmic velocity profile near wall
✓ Determine friction factors using the Moody chart and Colebrook formula, and evaluate head losses in straight pipes, elbows, valves, and fittings using loss coef
✓ Apply the energy equation to analyze single and multiple pipe systems, including series, parallel, and three-reservoir configurations, for pressure drop, Q & D.
✓ Understand how orifice meters, nozzle meters, Venturi meters, rotameters, and positive displacement meters work to measure flowrate and total volume in pipeline
Requirements
● Students should understand fundamental fluid properties including density, specific weight, viscosity, and the no-slip condition
● A working knowledge of pressure, hydrostatics, the Bernoulli equation, and the general energy equation is essential for following the derivations and applications in this course.
● Should be familiar with the concept of Reynolds number and its role in distinguishing between laminar and turbulent flow regimes before diving into pipe flow analysis.
● Comfort with algebra, dimensionless analysis concepts, and the ability to interpret graphical data from charts like the Moody chart is necessary for solving pipe flow problems.
