2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define major losses in pipe flow.
Consider friction as a type of energy loss.
What is the definition of minor losses?
Think about how fittings affect flow.
What are major losses primarily due to?
Think about what happens when fluid flows through a surface.
True or False: Minor losses only occur when the pipe diameter increases.
Consider the effects of bends and valves.
A pipe with a diameter of 0.5 m and a length of 100 m has a friction factor of 0.01. Determine the major head loss when the flow velocity is 5 m/s.
Include gravitational acceleration in your calculations.
What is the cumulative head loss in a system with three bends, each having a K-value of 0.3, and a flow velocity of 4 m/s?
Don't forget to use consistent units throughout your calculations.
