19. CONSERVATION OF - BERNOULLI’S EQUATION

Law of Conservation of Energy: “energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can be transformed from one form to another.”

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

Pressure energy

In the analysis of a pipeline problem accounts for all the energy within the system.

Inner wall of the pipe

V P Centerline

z element of fluid

Reference level

An element of fluid inside a pipe in a flow system;

- Located at a certain elevation (z) - Have a certain velocity (V) - Have a (P)

The element of fluid would possess the following forms of energy;

1. Potential energy: Due to its elevation, the potential energy of the element relative to some reference level

PE = Wz

W= weight of the element.

2. Kinetic energy: Due to its velocity, the kinetic energy of the element is

KE = Wv2/2g

3. Flow energy(pressure energy or flow work): Amount of work necessary to move element of a fluid across a certain section aganist the pressure (P).

PE = W P/γ

Derivation of Flow Energy:

F = PA

Work = PAL = FL=P∀

∀= of the element.

Weight of element  W = γ ∀volume

W Volume of element ∀ = γ

Total amount of energy of these three forms possessed by the element of fluid;

E= PE + KE + FE

P E = Wz + Wv2/2g + W γ

2 V P2 Total energy at section 2: E = Wz + W 2 + W × 2 2 2g γ

If no energy is added to the fluid or lost between sections 1 and 2, then the principle of conservation of energy requires that;

E1 = E2

2 2 V P1 V P2 Wz + W 1 +W = Wz + W 2 + W × 1 2g γ 2 2g γ

The weight of the element is common to all terms and can be divided out.

19.1 INTERPRETATION OF BERNOULLI’S EQUATION

2 2 v P1 v2 P2 z + + = z + + 1 2g γ 2 2g γ

Each term in Bernoulli’s equation is one form of the energy possessed by the fluid per unit weight of fluid flowing in the system. The units in each term are “energy per unit weight”. In the SI system the units are N.m/N and in the U.S. Customary System the units are Ib.ft/Ib.

The unit appears in both the numerator and denominator and it can be cancelled. The resulting unit is simply the meter (m) or (ft) and can be interpreted to be a height. In fluid flow analysis, the terms are typically expressed as “head” referring to a height above a reference level.

19.2. Restrictions on Bernoulli’s Equation

1. It’s valid only for incompressible liquids since the of the fluid is assumed to be the same at two sections of interest. 2. There can be no mechanical devices between section 1 and 2 that would add energy to or remove energy from the system, since the equation states that the total energy of fluid is constant. 3. There can be no heat transfered into or out of the fluid. 4. There can be no energy loss due to friction.

Example 19.1. In Figure 19.2, at 100C is flowing from section 1 to section 2. At section 1, which is 25 mm in diameter, the gage pressure is 345kPa and the velocity of flow is 3.0 m/s. Section 2, which is 50 mm in diameter, is 2.0 m above section 1. Assuming there are no energy losses in the system, calculate the pressure P2.

19.3. Tanks, , and Nozzles Exposed to the Atmosphere

A draws fluid from a tank and delivers it through a nozzle at the end of the pipe. Point A and F are exposed to atmosphere (they are not confined with a solid boundry).Gage pressure of point A and F are zero.

(Source: Mott, R. L., Applied Fluid Mechanics, Prentice Hall, New Jersey)

Pressure Head at points open to the atmosphere :When the fluid at reference point is exposed to the atmosphere, the pressure is zero and the pressure head term can be cancelled from Bernoulli’s equation.

Velocity Head at points inside the tank or :The velocity head at the surface of the tank or reservoir is considered to be zero and it can be cancelled from Bernoulli’s equation.

7

Velocity Heads at points with the same c/s area:Points B,C, D and E are inside the pipes and has a uniform flow area. The velocity will be same througout the pipe.

When the two points of reference for Bernoulli’s equation are both inside a pipe of the same size, the velocity head terms at both sides of the equation are equal and can be cancelled.

Elevation Head at points on the same level:When two points of reference for Bernoulli’s equation are both at the same elevation, the elevation head terms, z1 and z2 are equal and can be cancelled.

Example: (Example 6.10 from Mott, R. L., Page 164)

A siphon draws fluid from a tank and delivers it through a nozzle at the end of the pipe. Calculate the volume flow rate through the siphon and the pressure at points B, C, D, and E. Diameter of siphon = 40 mm Diameter of nozzle = 25 mm Assume that there are no energy losses in the system.

Velocity of point A is small, velocity head will be negligible.

Summary of the Results of Example

1. Velocity from nozzle and therefore the volume flow rate delivered by siphon depends on the elevation difference between the free surface of fluid and the outlet of nozzle. 2. The pressure at point B is below atmospheric pressure even though it is on the same level as point A, which is exposed to the atmosphere. Bernoulli’s equation shows that the pressure head at B is decreased by the amount of the velocity head. That is, some of the energy is converted 3. The velocity of flow is the same at all points where the pipe size is the same, when steady flow exists. 4. The pressure at point C is the lowest in the system because point C is at the highest elevation. 5. The pressure at point D is the same as that at point B, because both are on the same elevation and the velocity head at both points is the same.

6. The pressure at point E is the highest in the systen because point E is at the lowest elevation.

19.4 Venturi Meters and Other closed Systems with unknown velocities

Venturi meter is a device that can be used to measure the velocity of flow in a fluid in the manometer. Analysis of venturi meters is based on the application of Bernoulli’s Equation.

Example 6.11 from Mott, R. L., Page 168

The venturi meter shown in figure carries water at 60℃ . The specific of the gage fluid in the manometer is 1.25. Calculate the velocity of flow at section A and the volume flowrate of water.

Knowns: Elevation difference between A and B = 0.46 m.Diameters of A and B is known. The manometer allows the determination of the difference in pressure between points A and B.

P1 = 0 and P2= 0 (open to the atmosphere), V1 = 0 (velocity at the surface of the tank)

V2 = √2g(z1 − z2)

20.2 Velocity and flow from a tank due to falling head (time required to empty a tank)

(Source: Mott, R. L., Applied Fluid Mechanics, Prentice Hall, New Jersey)

VJ = √2gh when water depth is equal to h.

The volume flowrate from the nozzle Q = AJ × VJ

In a small amount of time, dt, the volume of water flowing through the nozzle;

Volume flowing = Q(dt) = AJ × VJ(dt)

As the fluid leaving the tank, depth of fluid in the tank will decrease. For time interval dt, the fluid level drops a small distance, dh

Volume removed = -Atdh

AJ × VJ(dt) = −At(dh)

Volume of fluid volume leaving flowing the tank

−(At/AJ) −(At/AJ) Solving for time dt  dt = × dh = × dh VJ √2gh

VJ = √2gh

15

−(At/AJ) dt = × dh √2gh

Rewriting to separate the terms involving h gives

−(A /A ) dt = t J h−1/2 × dh √2g

t −(At/AJ) h ∫ 2 dt = ∫ 2 h−1/2 dh t1 √2g h1

1/2 1/2 −(At/AJ) h2 −h1 t2 −t1 = × √2g 1/2

2(At/AJ) 1/2 1/2 t2 −t1 = ( h1 − h2 ) √2g
